With macOS support for Intel Macs coming to an end with Tahoe, it’s time to reconsider the role of SilentKnight in the future. Plus two more updates.
EFIcienC
Did you spot the change that didn’t take place as expected in the 15.2 update this week? It marks the end of the Intel era for Macs.
Increases maximum text size, adds macOS version to the report, and fixes a lot for the latest Catalina beta 4.
The apps claim my Mac is running an old version, but that the newer version was installed weeks ago. How come?
First release version of what was EFIcienC, to check EFI firmware, security settings, and security updates automatically.
So you downloaded and installed a ‘silent’ security update. But how do you get it to work on your Mac? Isn’t that automatic too?
Now does much of what LockRattler does, without the barrage of numbers. It also checks automatically whether you Mac is up to date.
You can find out which EFI version your Mac is running, but how do you know whether that’s current, or old and vulnerable?
How can you check whether your firmware is fully up to date when Apple doesn’t help? A new app to make this much simpler, and automatic.
