Remote Management & Privacy Locks

Glad to hear you’ve started fresh! Since you’re focused on stopping remote management, unauthorized camera/mic access, and AirPlay control , here’s a step-by-step approach to lock things down completely on your new setup. 1️⃣ Check for Remote Management & MDM (Mobile Device Management) If an attacker had remote control, they may have used MDM or remote management profiles to persist. 🔍 Check for Remote Management Go to  Apple Menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security → Profiles 🚨 If you see a profile you don’t recognize, REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY. If "Profiles" is missing, that's good —it means no MDM is installed. Go to  Apple Menu → System Settings → General → About Scroll to “Management” (only visible if MDM is installed). If it appears, remove it by clicking “Remove Management” (you may need admin rights). 🛑 Check & Disable Remote Login (SSH) Go to  System Settings → General → Sharing Make sure ALL remote access services are OFF : ❌ Remote Login (SSH) ❌ Remote Management (Apple Remote Desktop) ❌ Screen Sharing ❌ AirPlay Receiver ❌ Bluetooth Sharing ❌ Content Caching ❌ Internet Sharing ⛔ Check for Hidden Remote Access Apps Run this Terminal command to see if anything suspicious is running: bash Copy sudo lsof -i -n | grep LISTEN Look for unusual services that are listening for connections. 2️⃣ Stop Unauthorized Camera & Microphone Access Attackers could use apps or accessibility exploits to hijack your camera/mic. 📸 Disable Camera & Mic Access for Unauthorized Apps Go to  System Settings → Privacy & Security Select “Camera” & “Microphone” 🚫 Turn OFF access for all apps except the ones you trust (e.g., FaceTime, Zoom) If an app is listed that you didn’t install, investigate it immediately. 🛑 Check for Fake or Hidden Camera Apps Run th is command in Terminal to list apps that have requested camera/mic access: bash Copy tccutil reset Camera tccutil reset Microphone This will reset permissions, forcing apps to request access again— if something re-enables itself without asking, it’s suspicious. 3️⃣ Stop Unauthorized AirPlay / Screen Mirroring Since you suspected AirPlay was used in the past, let’s fully lock it down . 🖥️ Turn Off AirPlay & Screen Mirroring Go to  System Settings → General → AirDrop & Handoff Set "AirDrop" to “Receiving Off” Turn OFF "Allow Handoff" Go to "AirPlay & Receiver" Set "Allow AirPlay" to OFF If you must keep it on, set it to “Only People Sharing This Mac” 🔎 Check for Unauthorized AirPlay Devices Go to  System Settings → Control Center Look under “Screen Mirroring” → If you see any devices you don’t recognize , remove them. 4️⃣ Extra Steps to Ensure No Hidden Monitoring ✔ Check Accessibility Settings (Attackers may use these for remote control) Go to  System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility Remove ALL apps unless you installed them yourself. ✔ Run a Quick Malware Scan (Check for persistence) bash Copy sudo system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType | grep -i "remote" This lists apps that contain "remote" in their name or description. ✔ Check Login Items & Background Services Go to  System Settings → General → Login Items Disable any unknown items. Run this command in Terminal: bash Copy launchctl list | grep -i remote If anything suspicious appears, let me know. Final Step: Reboot & Monitor for Suspicious Behavior Restart your Mac and check if any settings re-enable themselves If anything turns back on automatically , it could indicate a deeper issue.

Here's what I see in your lsof output: Processes Listening on Your Mac Process Port Purpose Safe? rapportd 49153 Apple’s device proximity service (used for Handoff, Continuity, etc.) ✅ Safe, but can be disabled if unwanted Disk\x20D 49189 Unknown – possibly related to disk monitoring software ⚠️ Suspicious, needs investigation adb 5037 Android Debug Bridge (used for connecting Android devices) ⚠️ Shouldn't be running if you don’t use Android debugging cupsd ipp Print service (CUPS for local printing) ✅ Safe if you use a printer What You Should Do Next 🚨 1️⃣ Investigate & Kill Suspicious Processes Check the "Disk D" Process Run: bash Copy ps aux | grep "Disk\x20D" If you don’t recognize it, kill it: bash Copy sudo kill -9 1108 Check adb (Android Debug Bridge) Run: bash Copy ps aux | grep adb If you did not install Android development tools , remove it: bash Copy sudo kill -9 1129 Then, prevent it from starting again: bash Copy sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.android.adb.plist 🛑 2️⃣ Disable rapportd (If You Don’t Use Handoff & Continuity) Since rapportd handles Apple’s pr oximity features (like AirDrop & Handoff), you can disable it if you don’t need those: bash Copy sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rapportd.plist Then restart your Mac. 🔎 3️⃣ Check for Hidden Remote Services Run this command to check for unknown remote access tools: bash Copy sudo netstat -anp tcp | grep LISTEN Look for anything unusual listening on non-standard ports. Final Questions for You Do you recognize Disk\x20D ? If not, we may need to check its source. Do you use Android development tools? If not, adb shouldn’t be running. Are you experiencing any strange behavior after rebooting ? If anything reappears after killing it, it could be a sign of persistence. Let me know what you find! 🚀

You Successfully Killed adb , but It Might Restart The process was running ( adb -L tcp:5037 fork-server server --reply-fd 4 ), meaning Android Debug Bridge (ADB) was active . You successfully killed it , but we need to make sure it doesn’t come back . 1️⃣ Unload adb Properly Since launchctl unload gave an Input/output error , try the alternative command: bash Copy sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.android.adb.plist If it says "No such process" , that means adb isn’t set to restart. 2️⃣ Check If adb Reappears After a Reboot To be 100% sure it's gone , restart your Mac and run: bash Copy ps aux | grep adb If it comes back , it may be hiding in another location. In that case, try: bash Copy sudo find / -name "adb" 2>/dev/null 🚨 If adb is found somewhere unexpected, we need to manually delete it. Quick Question: Did You Install Any Android-Related Software? If you didn’t install anything related to Android (like Bluestacks, Android Studio, etc.), adb being active is suspicious and we should dig deeper. If you did install something, but you don't need adb , we can fully remove it . Let me know what you find! 🚀

adb Might Be Persisting—Let’s Fully Remove It Since launchctl bootout also failed, adb might be installed incorrectly or persisting through another method . Let's fully remove it. 1️⃣ Find Where adb Is Installed Run: bash Copy sudo find / -name "adb" 2>/dev/null This will show all locations where adb exists. Let me know what it returns. 2️⃣ Manually Delete adb If find shows paths like: /usr/local/bin/adb /Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.android.adb.plist Remove them with: bash Copy sudo rm -rf /path/to/adb (Replace /path/to/adb with the actual path from find .) Then remove its launch agent: bash Copy sudo rm -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.android.adb.plist 3️⃣ Restart & Confirm Removal Restart your Mac Run: bash Copy ps aux | grep adb If nothing appears , adb is gone. ✅ If it comes back , we need deeper cleanup. Quick Question: Did You Install Any Android-Related Software? If not, adb being installed is very suspicious —it could be part of unauthorized remote access. If yes, but you don’t need it , we’ll still fully remove it. Let me know what find returns! 🚀

🚨 That’s highly suspicious! Terminal sh ould not need access to your HDD or Photos just to search for adb . This suggests one of two things : Your system has extra security (like macOS Privacy Protections), and it’s just asking for permission. ✅ A malicious process is intercepting Terminal requests to gain extra access. 🚨 🚀 Next Steps: 1️⃣ Deny the Request for Now If you don’t recognize this behavior , click "Deny" when macOS asks for access. If it keeps asking, let me know. 2️⃣ Run a Limited find Instead Since full disk access triggered the prompt, try searching specific safe locations: bash Copy sudo find /usr /Library /System -name "adb" 2>/dev/null If adb is installed somewhere suspicious, it should still appear. 3️⃣ Check If Anything Else Has Full Disk Access Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access Look for any unexpected apps with access (especially anything unknown). Let me know if you see anything unusual. ❓ Questions Did Terminal ever ask for disk access before? Do you recognize any suspicious apps in Full Disk Access? Have you noticed any other odd permissions requests? Let me know what you find! 🚀

Yes! Let’s double-check Terminal’s permissions before proceeding. 🚀 1️⃣ Check Terminal's Permissions in macOS Settings Go to : System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access Look for "Terminal" in the list. If it’s enabled , it means Terminal already has full access. If it’s disabled , macOS is asking because it needs extra access. 🔹 Question: Is Terminal already listed here? If yes, is it toggled on or off ? 🔍 2️⃣ Check Other Permissions (Camera, Microphone, etc.) Since you mentioned unexpected permission prompts , check: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files & Folders → Look for Terminal Photos → Look for Terminal Camera & Microphone → Look for anything unusual Screen Recording → Ensure only trusted apps are listed 🔹 Question: Do you see anything strange, like apps you didn’t approve? 🛑 3️⃣ Check if Terminal Was Recently Granted Permissions To see if Terminal (or any other app) was just granted access , check system logs: Run this command to check recent permissions granted: bash Copy log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.TCC"' --info --last 1h This will list any permissions granted in the last hour . Look for Terminal, adb, or anything unexpected. Next Steps Based on What You Find If Terminal already has full disk access → We can proceed safely. ✅ If Terminal does NOT have access, but macOS keeps asking → Possible interference. 🚨 If you see unknown apps with permissions → We might need to revoke them. Let me know what you find! 🚀

Good call! Removing Terminal from Full Disk Access means it no longer has unrestricted access. Now, let's proceed carefully. 🚀 Next Steps 1️⃣ Retry Searching for adb (With Limited Scope) Now that Terminal has no extra permissions , let’s try a more restricted search that won’t trigger system prompts: bash Copy sudo find /usr /Library /System -name "adb" 2>/dev/null This avoids searching your personal files and sticks to system locations. Let me know if adb shows up anywhere. 2️⃣ Check If Anything Else Has Full Disk Access Now that we removed Terminal, let’s double-check for suspicious apps : Go to: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access Look for any unknown or suspicious apps . Expected apps : Time Machine, security software, disk utilities. Unexpected apps : Anything you don’t remember allowing. 🚨 Question: Did you find anything suspicious in Full Disk Access? 3️⃣ Check for Other Suspicious Permissions While still in Privacy & Security , check: Screen Recording – Anything unknown? Camera & Microphone – Any suspicious apps? Files & Folders – Look for Terminal, unexpected apps. Accessibility – Ensure nothing unusual has control over the system. 🚨 Question: Did any strange apps have permissions here? 🔍 If adb Shows Up in the Search We manually remove it. If it’s hidden in an odd location , this could mean something was reinstalled without your consent . Let’s review the results before deleting anything. Let me know what the find command returns and if you spot anything suspicious in your privacy settings! 🚀

🚨 That’s very concerning. Terminal should not be trying to access files on a network volume unless: You have manually connected to a network drive. ✅ Something suspicious is running in the background. 🚨 This could indicate: A remote management tool is still active. A hidden user process is accessing shared storage. An unauthorized network mount (e.g., attacker-controlled drive). 🚀 Immediate Next Steps 1️⃣ Check If You Have Any Network Drives Mounted Run: bash Copy mount If you see unexpected network drives (like SMB, NFS, or AFP mounts) , we need to unmount them. Let me know what shows up. 2️⃣ List All Active Network Connections Run: bash Copy netstat -rn Look for unusual IP addresses or unexpected network routes. 3️⃣ Check for Unauthorized Remote Access Run: bash Copy sudo launchctl list | grep -i remote This will show any remote management services. Also, check for active sharing services : bash Copy sudo systemsetup -getremotelogin sudo systemsetup -getremoteappleevents sudo systemsetup -getremotemanagement If any of these say "On," we need to disable them. 4️⃣ Unmount Any Suspicious Network Drives If you find an unknown network drive, unmount it: bash Copy sudo umount -f /path/to/mount Replace /path/to/mount with what mount showed. 🚨 Key Questions: Do you recognize any mounted network drives? Does netstat -rn show any unknown IPs ? Do the remote management checks show "On"? Let me know what you find! 🚀

🚨 Immediate Concern: Suspicious NFS Mount ( .DDPreviewDisk ) 🚨 This line stands out: bash Copy .DDPreviewDisk on /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk (nfs, nodev, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by lcl) .DDPreviewDisk is mounted via NFS (Network File System) – This suggests a remote storage volume is attached . It’s in /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/ , which is a hidden directory —this is highly unusual. You didn’t manually mount this, correct? If not, it could be an unauthorized remote volume. 🚨 Immediate Next Steps 1️⃣ Unmount .DDPreviewDisk (If You Didn't Intentionally Mount It) Run: bash Copy sudo umount -f /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk This will forcefully unmount the suspicious volume. 2️⃣ Check If It Reappears After Reboot Run: bash Copy sudo rebo ot After rebooting, run mount again to see if .DDPreviewDisk comes back. If it remounts itself, something is reinstalling it automatically. 3️⃣ Find Out What Mounted It Run: bash Copy ps aux | grep DDPreview This will show what process created .DDPreviewDisk . If you see a suspicious app or process , let me know. 4️⃣ List All Network Volumes Run: bash Copy showmount -e localhost This lists NFS shares on your Mac. Let me know if any unexpected shares appear. 5️⃣ Check Launch Agents & Daemons (Persistence Mechanisms) To see if something automatically mounts .DDPreviewDisk on startup , check: bash Copy ls -la /Library/LaunchAgents/ ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons/ ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ 🚨 Look for files related to DDPreview, NFS, or anything suspicious. 🛑 Questions for You: Did you manually set up an NFS share called .DDPreviewDisk ? Did you recently install any software related to remote file access or previews? Have you noticed files being accessed remotely or strange network activity? 🚨 If you didn’t set this up, this could be an active persistence mechanism keeping an external connection open. Let me know what you find! 🚀

Ah, that makes sense! Disk Drill is a data recovery tool, and it likely created .DDPreviewDisk as a virtual preview disk for file recovery. Since Disk Drill has access to deep system files and disk volumes , it’s important to verify that: It isn’t running anything unnecessary in the background. It isn’t creating unintended remote access points. 🚀 Next Steps 1️⃣ Check If Disk Drill Is Running in the Background Run: bash Copy ps aux | grep drill If you see processes related to Disk Drill , note their process IDs (PIDs) and stop them: bash Copy sudo kill -9 [PID] 2️⃣ Fully Uninstall Disk Drill (If You Don’t Need It) If you installed Disk Drill just for testing and don’t plan to use it, remove it completely: bash Copy sudo rm -rf /Applications/Disk\ Drill.app sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cleverfiles.DiskDrill.plist sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/DiskDrill.kext Then, check if .DDPreviewDisk disappears using mount . 3️⃣ Ensure Disk Drill Isn't Auto-Mounting Disks on Startup Check for any launch agents or daemons related to Disk Drill: bash Copy ls -la /Library/LaunchAgents/ | grep -i drill ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons/ | grep -i drill ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ | grep -i drill If any files are found, remove them : bash Copy sudo rm -rf /path/to/suspicious/file.plist 4️⃣ Confirm If .DDPreviewDisk Still Exists After Reboot Run: bash Copy sudo reboot After rebooting, check mount again. If the network volume is still there, something else is causing it . Should You Keep Disk Drill? If you needed it for data recovery, it’s fine—but disable unnecessary background services. If you no longer need it , removing it fully is safest. 🚀 Let me know what you decide and if .DDPreviewDisk disappears after uninstalling or stopping Disk Drill!

Got it! That makes sense— Disk Drill is useful for exploring formatted drives and attempting to recover lost files. Next Steps: 1️⃣ After Uninstalling Disk Drill If you're done with Disk Drill and no longer need to preview a drive, uninstalling as I mentioned earlier is a good idea for security and stability. This will also help ensure that no hidden network mounts like .DDPreviewDisk remain active. 2️⃣ Check the Drive Format If you're just curious about how the drive is formatted , you can check the format without running Disk Drill by using Disk Utility or the Terminal: Disk Utility : Open Disk Utility and select the drive. You'll see the format type (e.g., APFS , **HFS+, exFAT ). Terminal : Run this command to list all connected disks: bash Copy diskutil list Find your drive in the list and check its format type . 3️⃣ Remove .DDPreviewDisk if No Longer Needed If you’ve finished checking the drive and no longer need it mounted: bash Copy sudo umount -f /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk Then check if the mount is removed after rebooting. Security Tip: Once you’re done, it’s always good practice to reset permissions on any sensitive drives or files to prevent unauthorized access. Disk Drill shouldn't leave any long-term issues, but it’s always best to double-check. Let me know how it goes, and if anything unexpected pops up with the drive format or remaining mounts! 🚀

It looks like the Disk Drill process is not running in the background anymore (no active drill processes found). However, the suspicious .DDPreviewDisk mount is still there. Here’s what we can do next: Steps to Remove .DDPreviewDisk Force Unmount .DDPreviewDisk Since .DDPreviewDisk is still showing up in your mount list, let’s unmount it manually: bash Copy sudo umount -f /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk This should forcefully remove it from the system. Reboot and Check Again After unmounting, reboot your Mac: bash Copy sudo reboot After rebooting, run the following to check if .DDPreviewDisk reappears: bash Copy mount If it doesn’t come back , this suggests that it was indeed tied to Disk Drill or an associated process. Further Checks: Ensure Disk Drill Isn't Re-Installing or Running on Startup Even though you stopped any processes, check if any remnants are configured to mount .DDPreviewDisk automatically on startup. Look for relevant files in these directories: bash Copy ls -la /Library/LaunchAgents/ | grep -i drill ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons/ | grep -i drill ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ | grep -i drill Verify That You No Longer Need Disk Drill If you're satisfied with the data recovery, consider uninstalling Disk Drill completely to prevent any future surprises: bash Copy sudo rm -rf /Applications/Disk\ Drill.app sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CleverFiles sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cleverfiles.DiskDrill.plist sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/DiskDrill.kext Let me know how it goes after following these steps! If .DDPreviewDisk reappears or you encounter any issues, we’ll dig deeper into it.

Got it! Let's focus on network drives and permissions while leaving Disk Drill aside for now. Steps to Investigate Network Drive and Permissions: 1️⃣ Check for Mounted Network Drives Since you're seeing a network drive mounted at .DDPreviewDisk (which may be linked to an NFS mount), let's confirm if there are any other active network volumes. Run the following: bash Copy mount Look for any entries related to NFS , SMB , or other ne twork protocols. Specifically, check if there’s anything like this: bash Copy .DDPreviewDisk on /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk (nfs, nodev, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by lcl) If you see anything unusual, we can proceed to remove or isolate it. 2️⃣ Check Active Network Shares To ensure no unauthorized network shares are active, run: bash Copy sudo nfsstat -c This will show if your system is exporting any NFS shares (and to whom). If there are any unexpected entries, you’ll want to disable them. Similarly, check for any SMB (Windows file sharing) shares by running: bash Copy sudo smbutil statshares -a This will list all currently shared network drives. If any of these are unfamiliar, we can investigate further. 3️⃣ Check for Unnecessary Permissions Let's review the permissions on key folders, especially if they’re tied to network drives or apps you no longer need. First, check permissions on the .DDPreviewDisk : bash Copy ls -l /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk This will show the permissions of the .DDPreviewDisk . If you see read/write permissions granted to any unfamiliar users or apps, we should adjust them accordingly. Next, check the general file permissions for your home directory: bash Copy ls -la ~ This will show all files in your home directory and their permissions. Look for anything unusual or unauthorized that might have been set up without your consent. 4️⃣ Disable Unnecessary Permissions To stop apps or network services from accessing files they shouldn’t, you can go through System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy and manually remove unnecessary permissions for: Full Disk Access Files and Folders Automation (look for any apps that shouldn’t have access) 5️⃣ Check System Preferences for Remote Management We also want to confirm that remote management isn’t enabled by accident. Check this: Go to System Preferences > Sharing . Ensure that Screen Sharing and Remote Management are both disabled unless you specifically need them. Let me know what you find in these steps, and we’ll dig into any further network issues or unnecessary permissions!

The output confirms that the .DDPreviewDisk is still mounted as an NFS (Network File System) volume, which could indicate that Disk Drill or some other process has configured a network share. Next Steps to Investigate Network Drive and Permissions: Unmount the Network Volume Let’s first try to unmount .DDPreviewDisk if you haven’t already: bash Copy sudo umount /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk If it doesn’t unmount successfully, you can force it: bash Copy sudo umount -f /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/.DDPreviewDisk Check the NFS Client Status To ensure no unnecessary NFS mounts are still active, you can check the status of NFS on your system: bash Copy nfsstat -c This will show you if any remote NFS shares are being used. Ensure No Remote Sharing is Enabled Double-check that remote sharing services are not enabled: Go to System Preferences > Sharing and make sure Screen Sharing and Remote Management are disabled . Also, check for File Sharing to ensure no shared folders are exposed. Review Home Directory Permissions Check the permissions for your home directory, especially since we saw the network mount under /Users/lcl/.DDPreview/ : bash Copy ls -la ~ Look for any suspicious or unfamiliar entries. If there are strange entries or permissions for files/folders that you didn’t set up, let’s review them further. Look for Unexpected Launch Daemons Check if there are any lingering network-related processes that could be managing this network share on startup: bash Copy sudo ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons | grep -i nfs sudo ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents | grep -i nfs Once these checks are complete, let me know how things look, and we can proceed with removing any unwanted configurations or permissions.

It looks like the .DDPreviewDisk is no longer mounted, which is good. Now that it’s unmounted, we can focus on ensuring that any associated network sharing or permissions are fully disabled. Next Steps: Verify No Active NFS Shares Run the following to make sure there are no active NFS shares: bash Copy nfsstat -c If any NFS shares appear that you didn’t configure, we can proceed to remove them. Check for Remote Network Services Let’s make sure no unnecessary network services are running by looking at current network connections: bash Copy sudo lsof -i -n | grep LISTEN We’re specifically looking for any services related to NFS , SMB , or Remote Management . Double-Check Sharing Settings In System Preferences > Sharing , confirm the following are disabled : File Sharing Screen Sharing Remote Management Review Home Directory Permissions Run this to inspect your home directory permissions: bash Copy ls -la ~ Look for any unfamiliar files or directories, especially those with world-readable or world-writable permissions. Inspect Launch Daemons for NFS or Other Unwanted Services Run these commands to check if there are any lingering NFS-related daemons or agents that could automatically mount network drives: bash Copy sudo ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons | grep -i nfs sudo ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents | grep -i nfs Let me know the results, and we can proceed from there!

The nfsstat -c output shows some recent NFS operations, but it doesn’t indicate any active NFS mounts right now. Next Steps: Check for Other Open Network Shares Let's verify there are no other network shares or unwanted network connections that may still be active: bash Copy sudo lsof -i -n | grep LISTEN Check for Active Sharing Services Go to System Preferences > Sharing and double-check these settings: File Sharing : Should be turned off. Screen Sharing : Should be turned off. Remote Management : Should be turned off. Review Permissions on Home Directory If you're comfortable, let's inspect the permissions in your home directory to ensure there are no unusual or suspicious files: bash Copy ls -la ~ Check Launch Daemons for NFS or Other Unwanted Services Ensure there are no lingering NFS-related or unwanted background processes: bash Copy sudo ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons | grep -i nfs sudo ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents | grep -i nfs Once we’ve checked those, we can proceed with further investigation and tightening of permissions.

The rapportd process is still listening on TCP port 49153, which is commonly associated with the TeamViewer remote management tool. This suggests that TeamViewer (or something related) may be installed or active on your system. Next Steps: Verify if TeamViewer or Rapport is Installed First, let’s verify if TeamViewer or Rapport is installed. You can check using the following command: bash Copy sudo find / -iname "*teamviewer*" sudo find / -iname "*rapport*" Terminate the rapportd Process If you confirm that this is related to TeamViewer or something unwanted, we can terminate the process: bash Copy sudo kill -9 397 Disable or Uninstall TeamViewer/Rapport If it’s installed, go ahead and uninstall it by following these steps: Open System Preferences > TeamViewer (if available) and disable or uninstall it. Alternatively, remove the files manually if you prefer by deleting the associated folders found using the above search. Check for Auto-Start Processes You should also check for any auto-start processes related to TeamViewer/Rapport: bash Copy sudo ls /Library/LaunchDaemons | grep -i teamviewer sudo ls /Library/LaunchDaemons | grep -i rapport Let’s check these, and then we can proceed with tighten ing up your system further.
