Interpret update info

In addition to those basic tests, LockRattler obtains six useful pieces of information about the updates which have been installed. These are obtained from the record of software installations and updates in /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist.

Next to the XProtect version, it gives the date and time of the last XProtect update, and the version number for that. That should match the actual version number given.

Next to the Gatekeeper version, it gives similar information for Gatekeeper’s data files, which should match the actual version number given.

Next to the KEXT block version, it gives similar information for that extension. This may not match the version number given to the left, as on at least two occasions, Apple has updated this as part of a security or system software update.

Next to the MRT version, it gives similar information for MRT, which should match the actual version number given.

Next to the TCC version, it gives similar information for TCC, which match the actual version number given.

Below Software update , it gives the date and time of the last OS X / macOS update installed, and its official name.

Below that, it gives the date and time of the last Security Update installed, and its official name.

⚠️ Dates and times given for software updates are stated in UTC, not local time, for consistency no matter where you are.
