This guide is a collection of techniques for improving the security and privacy of [Apple silicon](https://support.apple.com/116943) Mac computers running a [currently supported](https://support.apple.com/HT201222) version of macOS. **Using Macs with Intel CPUs leaves you open to [security vulnerabilities](https://github.com/axi0mX/ipwndfu?tab%253Dreadme-ov-file#checkm8) on the hardware level that Apple can't patch**. [Apple silicon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_silicon) Macs are considered the minimum recommendation but as a general rule, newer chips are always more secure. This guide targets power users who wish to adopt enterprise-standard security, but is also suitable for novice users with an interest in improving privacy and security. For securing computers in an organization, use the [official NIST guidelines for macOS](https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security). A system's security ultimately depends on its administrator's capabilities. No single technology, piece of software, or technique can guarantee perfect security. This guide is provided "as is" - without warranties of any kind. You are solely responsible for any consequences of following it.
