Hacking the Falcon Sensor Installer for macOS

Are you tired of manually installing and licensing CrowdStrike's Falcon ZTA solution on your Macs? Look no further! In this article, we'll explore how to hack the Falcon sensor installer for macOS to include the licensing information, making it easier than ever to deploy this powerful endpoint protection platform.

For those who are new to package (.pkg) installers, hacking may seem daunting. However, with Xcode installed and a basic understanding of Terminal commands, you can easily modify the installer to automate the process. The Falcon sensor is designed to help administrators assess the security posture of managed devices within their organization, providing increased control, visibility, and protection.

One of the main challenges when deploying the Falcon installer on macOS endpoints (devices) is that it requires running a command in Terminal to license the software. This can be intimidating for those who are not familiar with Terminal commands. In a large environment, automating the installation process as much as possible is advantageous.

After digging into the package installer, I discovered that the licensing command was hidden from view. By hacking the installer, I was able to include this crucial information, making it easy for employees to install and license Falcon without requiring technical expertise.

In addition to automating the installation process, this hack also allows users to easily update their Falcon software with minimal effort. With this solution, you can rest assured that your Macs are protected from malware and other threats.
