# Reverse Engineering on OS X

For the past several years I've been a developer at Mozilla,

specializing in OS X and particularly in fixing bugs that happen only

on OS X.  Since many of these bugs involve third party apps (for

example plugins) or the OS itself, I've had to learn a lot about

reverse engineering on OS X.  This an attempt to distill my

experience, acquired over the last few years, into something like a

tutorial.  I hope people will be able to learn from it, and even

become excited about it!
