  • EXIF Tool

    From David Brooks@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 8 17:49:27 2022
    Hi

    Is anyone here familiar with this tool I've found on-line?
    https://exiftool.org

    Perhaps you can advise of an alternative?

    Thanks if you can/will.

    I just checked in to see if UseNet is still a chaotic shit show, and it
    is. So you might see again in another 6 months. However, for folks not
    prepared to involve themselves with the archane operation of exiftool,
    it is the backbone of several good software options. I regularly use
    ApolloOne which is Mac only, and EXIF Viewer for iOS.

    Looking for cheap antivirus software to protect you from the latest
    threats to your data and identity? These are the best antivirus deals.

    https://www.macworld.com/article/673359/antivirus-deals.html

    Are ANY such products REALLY needed now?

    FYI

    Laurence Gatehouse asked ...... on December 9, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    How capable is Xprotect and the rest of the Apple security suite, in
    your opinion? I realise that it is aimed differently but will it, or is intended to, replace such things as Virus checkers or MalwareBytes? This
    is probably a big question. Thanks for your always interesting posts.

    Howard Oakley responded ..... on December 9, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    No one knows. I don’t know how capable third-party products are either,
    nor the likelihood of any particular threat.
    I think Apple’s intent is that for ‘ordinary’ Mac users who are acting fairly sensibly, built-in protection should provide a high level of
    defence against all the more likely malware. For those at risk from
    state actors, for instance, they need to be augmented, hence Apple’s new option to block more common means of entry. I think those folk need wise
    and specific security support. But for the great majority of us,
    provided we keep macOS and these tools up to date, our risks should be
    very low.
    XProtect itself, with its Yara file, is fairly basic, and its efficacy
    depends on the malware. But XProtect Remediator is quite different, and
    should be considerably better, more on a par with the better third-party products.
    Howard.
