Do we have documented exclusions for MacOS endpoint actors? I did not see anything in the documentation. I'm using "exclusions" as my search term.


Thanks in advance for the guidance.

Hi, is this what you're looking for? https://docs.mandiant.com/home/msv-endpoint-actor-requirements#actor-services. The search term you are using is valid so we'll add it to that article so it appears more prominently. Thanks for the feedback!


Are you referring exclusions for EDR and Antivirus to prevent them from quarantining the Security Validation executable?


If so:


MacOS



  • /Users/Shared/Verodin/node/node/scripts/verodin_endpoint

  • /Users/Shared/Verodin/node/node/scripts/verodin_backend

  • /Users/Shared/Verodin/node/node/scripts/verodin_network_monitor

  • /Users/Shared/Verodin/node/node/web/verodin_standalone_server


You can also search by product name to get more detail. For example: Crowdstrike Exclusions.

Hi vinnie171,


in addition to the exclusions, there are a couple of other potential gotcha's you could run into. If you are running your Mac Actor on a notebook, make sure to disable any power saving  options to prevent the system from going into a sleep mode. and there are some cases where actions might get a permission denied response, if you ever see this, check out this article on our documentation page:  Some Actions will Not Run if Backend Service Doesn't Have Full Disk Access: Operation Not Permitted Error
