Disable System Integrity Protection Temporarily

issues

System Integrity Protection (SIP) is a kernel protection mechanism designed to prevent malicious tampering with the system kernel programs.

Even the root user is restricted from modifying certain directories, such as:

1
2
3
4
/System
/bin
/sbin
/usr (except for /usr/local)

For some software, installing numerous modules may occasionally infringe upon these protected areas.

Therefore, it is possible to manually disable this feature;

However, this action introduces vulnerabilities to the system, necessitating caution during use.

Disable SIP

To disable SIP, do the following:

  • Restart your computer in Recovery mode.

  • Launch Terminal from the Utilities menu.

  • Run the command csrutil disable.

  • Restart your computer.

Enable SIP
