Placeholder Climb Mac OS
The Dock in Mac OS X is unique in comparison to the user interface of Windows, most Linux distros that emulate the Windows desktop, and previous versions of the Classic Mac OS. Now the problem comes on Mac where your module you want to install depends on some binary program that you've installed, but which Perl cannot find. Because Perl is built on C and has a Unix like behavior for compiling and otherwise dealing with binary programs it will fall back to trying to use the pkg-config utility to find the binary programs.
This advisory describes the changes and steps administrators can take to deploy Mac Connector 1.14.
Mac Connector version 1.14 introduces a number of changes that require user attention. Most notably, this Connector release includes changes to full disk access approvals and adds support for macOS 11 (Big Sur) System Extensions.
Since the inital 1.14 launch, compatibility issues have been discovered with 3rd party applications on macOS 10.15 Catalina when system extensions are in use. Apple will be addressing these issues in future releases of macOS 11 but will not be fixing these issues in macOS 10.15. Consequently, starting with version 1.14.1, the Mac Connector will use legacy kernel extensions instead of system extensions on all versions of macOS 10.15.
Mac Connector 1.14 is required to ensure endpoint protection on macOS 11. Older Mac Connectors will not work on this version of macOS.
It is highly recommended to deploy the Mac Connector with an MDM profile that grants the required approvals. MDM profiles must be installed before installing or upgrading the Mac Connector to ensure the needed permissions are recognized. Refer to the Known Issues section later in this document if MDM cannot be used.

- macOS 10.14, using macOS kernel extensions.
For deployments that include endpoints running older macOS versions, consult the OS Compatibility Table for compatible Mac Connector versions.
Important Changes
Mac Connector 1.14 introduces important changes in three areas:
- Approving AMP macOS Extensions to load
- Full Disk Access
- New Directory Structure
Approving Mac Connector macOS Extensions
The Mac Connector uses either System Extensions or legacy Kernel Extensions to monitor system activities, depending on the macOS version. On macOS 11, System Extensions replace the legacy Kernel Extensions that are unsupported in macOS 11. User approval is required on all versions of macOS before either type of extension is allowed to run. Without approval, certain Connector functions such as on-access file scan and network access monitoring will be unavailable.
Mac Connector 1.14 introduces two new macOS system extensions:
- An Endpoint Security extension, named AMP Security Extension, to monitor system events
- A Network Content Filter extension, named AMP Network Extension, to monitor network access
The two legacy Kernel Extensions, ampfileop.kext
and ampnetworkflow.kext
, are included for backwards compatibility on older macOS versions that don't support the new macOS System Extensions.
The following approvals are required for macOS 11** and later:
- Approve AMP Security Extension to load
- Approve AMP Network Extension to load
- Allow AMP Network Extension to filter network content
** Mac Connector version 1.14.0 also required these approvals on macOS 10.15. These approvals are no longer required on macOS 10.15 when running Mac Connector 1.14.1 or later.
The following approvals are required for macOS 10.14 and macOS 10.15:
- Approve AMP Kernel Extensions to load
These approvals can be granted using the macOS Security & Privacy Preferences on the endpoint, or by using Mobile Device Management (MDM) profiles.
Approving Mac Connector macOS Extensions at the Endpoint
System and Kernel extensions can be approved manually from the macOS Security & Privacy Preferences pane.
Approving Mac Connector macOS Extensions using MDM
NOTE: macOS Extensions cannot be retroactively approved via MDM. If the MDM profile is not deployed prior to installing the Connector then the approvals will not be granted and additional intervention will be required in one of the following forms:
1. Manual approval of the macOS Extensions on endpoints that had the management profile deployed retroactively.
2. Upgrading the Mac Connector to a newer version than the one currently deployed. Endpoints that had themanagement profile deployed retroactively will recognize the management profile after upgrade and gain approval once the upgrade completes.
AMP extensions can be approved using a management profile with the following payloads and properties:
Payload | Property | Value |
SystemExtensions | AllowedSystemExtensions | com.cisco.endpoint.svc.securityextension, com.cisco.endpoint.svc.networkextension |
AllowedSystemExtensionTypes | EndpointSecurityExtension, NetworkExtension | |
AllowedTeamIdentifiers | DE8Y96K9QP | |

FilterGrade | firewall | |
FilterBrowsers | false | |
FilterPackets | false | |
FilterSockets | true | |
PluginBundleID | com.cisco.endpoint.svc | |
UserDefinedName | AMP Network Extension |
Full Disk Access
MacOS 10.14 and later require approval before an application can access parts of the filesystem that contain personal user data (e.g. Contacts, Photos, Calendar, and other applications). Certain Connector functions such as on-access file scan will be unable to scan these files for threats without approval.
Previous Mac Connector versions required the user to grant Full Disk Access to the ampdaemon
program. Mac Connector 1.14 requires Full Disk Access for:
- 'AMP for Endpoints Service' and
- 'AMP Security Extension'
The ampdaemon
program no longer requires Full Disk Access starting with this new Mac Connector version.
Full Disk Access approvals can be granted using the macOS Security & Privacy Preferences on the endpoint, or by using Mobile Device Management (MDM) profiles.
Approving Full Disk Access at the Endpoint
Full Disk Access can be approved manually from the macOS Security & Privacy Preferences pane.
Approving Full Disk Access Using MDM
NOTE: macOS Extensions cannot be retroactively approved via MDM. If the MDM profile is not deployed prior to installing the Connector then the approvals will not be granted and additional intervention will be required in one of the following forms:
1. Manual approval of the macOS Extensions on endpoints that had the management profile deployed retroactively.
2. Upgrading the Mac Connector to a newer version than the one currently deployed. Endpoints that had the management profile deployed retroactively will recognize the management profile after upgrade and gain approval once the upgrade completes.
Full Disk Access can be approved using a management profile's Privacy Preferences Policy Control payload with a SystemPolicyAllFiles property with the following two entries, one for the AMP for Endpoints Service
and one for the AMP Security Extension
:
Description | Property | Value |
AMP for Endpoints Service | Allowed | true |
CodeRequirement | anchor apple generic and identifier 'com.cisco.endpoint.svc' and (certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.9] /* exists */ or certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = DE8Y96K9QP) | |
Identifier | com.cisco.endpoint.svc | |
IdentifierType | bundleID | |
AMP Security Extension | Allowed | true |
CodeRequirement | anchor apple generic and identifier 'com.cisco.endpoint.svc.securityextension' and (certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.9] /* exists */ or certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = DE8Y96K9QP) | |
Identifier | com.cisco.endpoint.svc.securityextension | |
IdentifierType | bundleID |
If your deployment includes computers running AMP Connector version 1.12.7 or older, the following additional entry is still required to grant full disk access to ampdaemon
for those computers:
Description | Property | Value |
ampdaemon | Allowed | true |
CodeRequirement | identifier ampdaemon and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = TDNYQP7VRK | |
Identifier | /opt/cisco/amp/ampdaemon | |
IdentifierType | path |
New Directory Structure
Mac Connector 1.14 introduces two changes to the directory structure:
- The Applications directory has been renamed from
Cisco AMP
toCisco AMP for Endpoints
. - The command-line utility
ampcli
has been moved from/opt/cisco/amp
to/Applications/Cisco AMP for Endpoints/AMP for Endpoints Connector.app/Contents/MacOS
. The directory/opt/cisco/amp
contains a symlink to theampcli
program at its new location.
The complete directory structure for the new AMP Connector is as follows:
Known Issues with macOS 11.0 and Mac Connector 1.14.1.
- Guidance for fault 10, 'Reboot required to load kernel module or system extension,' may be incorrect if four or more Network Content Filters are installed on the computer. Refer to the AMP For Endpoints Mac Connector Faults article for more details.
Known Issues with macOS 10.15/11.0 and Mac Connector 1.14.0.
- Some faults raised by the Mac Connector may be raised unexpectedly. Refer to the AMP For Endpoints Mac Connector Faults article for more details.
- Fault 13, Too many Network Content Filter system extensions, may be raised after upgrading. Rebooting the computer will resolve the fault in this situation.
- Fault 15, System Extension requires Full Disk Access, may be raised after reboot due to a bug in macOS 11.0.0. This issue is fixed in macOS 11.0.1. The fault can be resolved by re-granting full disk access in the Security & Privacy pane in macOS System Preferences.
- During installation, the Security & Privacy pane may display 'Placeholder Developer' as the application name when granting permission for the Mac Connector system extensions to run. This is due to a bug in macOS 10.15. Check the boxes beside 'Placeholder Developer' to allow the Mac Connector to protect the computer.
- The
systemextensionsctl list
command can be used to determine which system extensions are awaiting approval. System extensions with the state[activated waiting for user]
in this output are displayed as 'Placeholder Developer' in the macOS preferences page shown above. If more than two 'Placeholder Developer' entries are showin in the above preferences page, uninstall all software that uses system extensions (including the Mac Connector) so that no system extensions are awaiting approval, and then reinstall the Mac Connector.
The Mac Connector sysem extensions are identified as follows:- The Network Extension is shown as
com.cisco.endpoint.svc.networkextension
. - The Endpoint Security extension is shown has
com.cisco.endpoint.svc.securityextension
.
- The Network Extension is shown as
- The
- During install, the prompt to allow the Mac Connector's Content Filter to monitor network traffic may display '(null)' as the application name. This is caused by a bug in macOS 10.15. The user needs to select 'Allow' to to ensure protection of the computer.
If the prompt was dismissed by clicking 'Don't Allow' it can be displayed again by clicking the AMP Agent menulet icon in the menu bar and selecting 'Allow Network Filter.'
Once enabled, the AMP Network Extension filter will be listed in the Network Preferences page. - On macOS 11, when upgrading from Mac Connector 1.12 to Mac Connector 1.14, Fault 4, System Extension Failed to Load, may be raised temporarily while the Connector is transitioning from the kernel extensions to the new system extensions.
Revision History
Dec 1, 2020
- Mac Connector 1.14.1 no longer uses system extensions on macOS 10.15.
- Additional guidance on using terminal check which 'Placeholder Developer' System Extensions are awaiting approval when using Mac Connector 1.14.0.

SEARCH LOGICS
Code that's never called anywhere in the game.
Logic 4
If you return to the room you start in (logic 2) on the upper level, there's a 21% chance that three guards show up marching on the lower level. The same code exists in logic 4, but due to a coding bug they never show up (you'd have to enter from the right side with an Y coordinate less than 80; and in that room the exit is placed lower than that; and repositioning the player occurs after this step). It is possible to get them to show up anyway with the debug mode, by repeatedly teleporting from room 4 to room 4; at this point, they'll promptly get stuck behind one of the corpses.
Logic 118
This appears to be an early version of the wandering Sarien logic used on the Arcada. There are only two messages in this logic compared to the final logic's five. Notably missing are the footstep messages that are used to alert the player.
This logic was removed from the game's resources in Version 2.2.
Message 3 | Message 4 |
---|---|
Unable to see anyone here, the alien leaves to search elsewhere. | The Sarien crewman stands over you radiating a chill you can no longer sense. His unblinking stare searches for confirmation of the kill. |
LOOK AT GRAPHICS
Three static Sarien guards. Their design here is a lot beefier than their finalized look.
The first three frames of Orat swelling up from eating the can of dehydrated water aren't used. It's a little animation of Orat actually examining the can before eating the thing. Apparently, at one point, you could GIVE CAN instead of throwing it at him.
Note the yellow eyes on Orat. He has green eyes in the final game, but these frames were never updated to match.
Final (Picture 65) |

Picture 63 -- removed from Version 2.2 -- is an older version of the Star Generator keypad. The only difference is the lack of an enter button.
Wow! Exciting stuff.
CHECK OUT ITEMS
Placeholder Climb Mac Os Download
None of these items have descriptions or graphics. They're just kinda there.
Life Detector
Item ID: 01 (Versions 1.0x & 1.1a only)
This item was removed entirely from version 2.2. There's no code in the game that references it. All that was ever done (or is left in the code) is the object name and ID.
Own 1 Used Ship
Item ID: 0D (Versions 1.0x & 1.1a), 20 (Version 2.2)
Presumably this would be given to the player when they bought the correct ship. This is referenced once in the back lot of Tiny's Used Spacecrafts, where it would remove Tiny from the screen if it was obtained.
Control
Item ID: 14 (Versions 1.0x & 1.1a), 15 (Version 2.2)
This item actually has a unique use message!
When the player types PRESS BUTTON or PRESS CONTROL BUTTON with this item in their inventory, and the player is not in the Deltaur's Star Generator room, the following message is displayed:
You press the button on the
remote control but notice
nothing different.
It's possible that this item was accidentally created in the object list. There's a Remote Control item in the game, and its only use is in the Star Generator room. It probably should have used this code.
Pocket Lint
Item ID: 23 (All versions)
Probably a joke item. On the room to the right of the starting screen, you can type GET LINT and get a special message, but this item isn't added to the inventory.
In Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, Larry starts the game with pocket lint in his inventory, with its description stating 'why is this stuff in every adventure game?', so it was probably an inside joke at Sierra.

ID | Message | Notes |
---|---|---|
General Logic | ||
9 | The can gives only one size of serving, 10 gallons. I don't think you're that thirsty. | This message would appear if the player tried to drink the entire can of dehydrated water. |
53 | You just had a drink. You'd better ration your supply. This place is hot! | At one point, there was a limit on how many times you could drink from the can of dehydrated water. The way it is in the final game, the player can drink from the can as many times as they want. |
114 | Sorry, you'll have to go back into the bar to do that. | This would likely appear by inputting the command BUY BEER outside of the bar. |
Logic 1 - Data Archive | ||
4 | The screen says 'Type the word `find` followed by the first name of the desired cartridge title.' | This hints at an older version of the Cartridge Retrieval system. The final system has its own screen and prompt, so the 'FIND' command does nothing special in this room. |
16 | He certainly looks dead. Do you get off on checking out stiffs? | An earlier, alternate dialogue for typing LOOK BODY. |
38 | There is no time for that. The alien attackers are on their way. | An unused warning for trying to insert the cartridge into the computer? |
49 | I warned you, but noooooo! Did you listen?! | And here's the narrator mocking you for not obeying said warning and getting shot. |
Logic 2 - Starting Screen | ||
2 | You recognize this as your sanitation supply closet. You have spent many hours sleeping in it. | At one point, LOOK CLOSET might have had a different response than 'LOOK DOOR'. |
9 | The doors here are not particularly interesting. | An alternate message for 'LOOK DOOR'. |
19 | The door is closed, fool! | Possible response from typing 'LOOK CLOSET' while the door is closed. |
Logic 7 - Room Before Flight Prep Room | ||
8 | <word1> <word2>? I'm sorry, <name>. You can't do that. I question your mental fitness. | A humorous error message that could have been used for a multitude of things. |
Logic 8 - Vehicle Bay | ||
5 | Sorry, <name>. You can't enter the Escape Pod when the Vehicle Bay doors are closed. | It's impossible for the escape pod to even be in the room while the bay doors are closed. |
7 | The Vehicle Bay Door is quite large. | A rather bland message that was replaced with a different bit of descriptive text. |
Logic 9 - Flight Prep Room | ||
12 | Your sight isn't what it once was. Maybe mom and dad weren't kidding. Anyway, you'll have to get closer. | An amusing message that might have been prompted by typing LOOK SIGN a significant distance away. |
33 | The elevator door opens automatically and the others open by pushing buttons. | This was split into two messages in the final version. The message displayed depends on where the player is in the room. |
Logic 19 - Mesa Center | ||
This is one of the electronic barrier stations encircling Ulence Flats. Its force field keeps out anything or anyone traveling on or under ground. | This room shares some of its logic with Ulence Flats, i.e. a call to logic 107. This contains a number of default responses, including this one to 'look barrier'. Obviously there is no barrier at the mesa. | |
Logic 23 - Mesa Southeast | ||
Fortunately for you, the path here is not far above the ground. Your suffering is limited to a dull pain in the hindquarters. | This room contains logic for falling off the cliff, which is lethal in other rooms but only embarrassing here. However, due to the room layout, it is not possible to fall off the cliff. It was likely possible in an earlier version. | |
Logic 26 - Grate Room | ||
1 | rock taken | Given their blandness and lack of capitalization, these are very likely placeholder or test messages. No messages are displayed for these actions in the final game. |
2 | geyser plugged | |
4 | geyser unplugged | |
Logic 28 - Laser Machine Room | ||
9 | You are in a large room in the cavern. There is a level area below. Standing toward the bottom are two odd-looking units emitting beams of light. | This is displayed with the command 'LOOK AREA' on the upper path with the laser machine intact. This is impossible, since the player can't reach the upper path without destroying the laser machine. |
Logic 30 - Pod Crash Site | ||
8 | Hold your breath! | Unknown. Probably response to inputting some stupid in the parser. |
Logic 34 - Tiny's Used Spacecrafts | ||
5 | 'So whaddaya think? Is she a diamond in the rough, or what? And only 129 buckazoids.' | There's no ship that Tiny sells for 129 buckazoids in the finalized game. |
Logic 35 - Outside of Bar | ||
26 | Ulence Flats is a typical example of some of the frontier settlements that sprang up in the early days of the Outer Zone exploration several years ago. Unfortunately, this attracted many unsavory individuals looking to make a quick buckazoid. Caution is advised. | Unlike most of the messages on this list, this is rendered unused due to an oversight. There are meant to be two descriptions: One for 'LOOK AREA', and one for 'LOOK CITY'. However, the check for the first message includes both 'LOOK AREA' and 'LOOK CITY'. So, because the first check catches both inputs, the first description is always used. Kind of a shame too, since this description gives the city more character. This is properly used, with a bit of minor rewording, in the SCI remake. |
28 | Turning the key does no good since the skimmer was programmed to get here and go no further. | An alternate explanation for why turning the skimmer key does nothing. The final game explains that the skimmer ran out of power. |
Logic 36 - Behind Bar | ||
34 | 'I warned you, but, did you listen?' | Probably intended to be said by the mugger, right before he shoots you for trying to get away. |
Logic 37 - Tiny's Back Lot | ||
20 | It won't do you any good to be in the ship without a droid to operate it. | A message for a check that's never performed in the final game. |
30 | 'Say what?' | An unused generic response to giving an invalid sector to the pilot droid, perhaps. |
Logic 57 - Deltaur Storage Room | ||
10 | You hear strange voices coming toward you! | A line that would pop up before the trunk was picked up by the Sarien guards. |
Logic 70 - Rocket Bar | ||
9 | You're not close enough to play. | Since you just have to walk up to the slot machine to play it, these aren't needed. Perhaps at one point you had to type PLAY GAME to activate the machine. |
10 | Sorry, someone is currently playing. Wait your turn. | |
43 | 'Whatever you say.' | A nondescript line for the barkeep. |
Logic 73 - Daventry Zone | ||
1 | You have this strange sinking feeling. | This would be used after crashing into the Daventry moat. |
Logic 100 - Death Parser | ||
7 | How about that darn artificial gravity, <name>. Just like the real thing, huh? | A message for falling from a great height in one of the spaceships. That situation never comes up. |
16 | You've been mowed down by a Deltaur crewthing. | Unlike the previous message this has a bit of coding associated with it. If the death value (Var 130) was ever set to 24, this message would be displayed. |
18 | Not being a very smooth thief you have been caught and dealt with appropriately. | An unused death message for trying to steal from the Deltaur armory. If the death value is set to 25, this text is displayed. |
31 | Alas, <name>, you have failed in your attempt to save the universe from the clutches of the Sariens. | Out of three generic death messages, only one is used. This is one of the two that's not. At one point, the generic death message might have been randomized like in Space Quest II. |
32 | Once again, you've demonstrated your inability to carry out a simple task like saving all of humanity. You quickly glance around the room to see if anyone saw your silly mistake. Thank you for playing Space Quest, <name>. You've been most entertaining. | This is the other one. Interestingly, this is very similar to two of the generic death messages in Space Quest II. |
Logic 110 - Spider Droid Logic | ||
2 | Not many tales are told of the spider droids due to a lack of live witnesses. | This was replaced with a more interesting message that's stored per room. |
Logic 119 - Pulseray Logic | ||
5 | Are you crazy? | Possibly used for trying to shoot something weird. Like yourself. |
Logic 121 - Trunk & Grate Logic | ||
3 | You slide the trunk just beneath a wall vent. | This is done in the final game without text. |
8 | It won't do any good unless you PUSH TRUNK to the wall, so that you can CLIMB TRUNK, OPEN VENT, ENTER VENT. | This text, in all likelihood, was used for testing purposes. It gives away the entire grate puzzle! |
23 | With the chest open that act would be highly ineffective. | An alternate message for trying to stand on the trunk while it's open? |

Text Changes
Command | V1.1A | V2.2 | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Game Logic | |||
SCOTT | N/A | Hello, <name>. I've been expecting you. You're obviously a person of dubious taste. Drop me a line at Sierra and let me know if you've enjoyed playing. | This easter egg referring to co-creator Scott Murphy only appears in Version 2.2. Scott's name appears in the word bank in the earlier revisions as well, but it's unused. The message in this slot in earlier versions is 'Don't snivel!' |
Logic 8 - Vehicle Bay | |||
LOOK IN CRAFT | N/A | You peer in through the open door but are unable to make out any detail. | One of a few lines added for Version 2.2. |
Logic 26 - Grate Room | |||
SIT GEYSER | N/A | Anything for a thrill, eh? That's a pretty darn interesting idea, but not the correct one. | A joke exclusive to Version 2.2. |
Logic 35 - Outside of Bar | |||
TAKE KEY (First arrival) | N/A | Do not remove the key while the skimmer is in motion. | Obviously this wouldn't make sense, would it? |
Logic 57 - Deltaur Storage Room | |||
LOOK TRUNK | The trunk is not of interest. It is only here because the sloppy Sariens never pick up after themselves. | There doesn't seem to be anything special about the container. | Strangely, Version 2.2 removes a joke here at the sake of puzzle clarity. |
Logic 61 - Deltaur Airlock | |||
(None) | 'Bleep, Gurgle, Pop!', apologizes the strange robot as he pushes you aside.' | 'Bleep, Gurgle, Pop!' apologizes the strange robot as he pushes you aside. | Just some minor changes in comma placement. |
TALK ROBOT | 'Snap, Crackle, Murphy', responds the little robot. | 'Snap, Crackle, Murphy,' responds the little robot. | |
Logic 70 - Rocket Bar | |||
LOOK AREA | In the lower corner a sweeper is standing silent. | You notice a sweeper in the lower corner of the room. | Some random dialogue rephrasing. |

Bug Fixes
- In the Flight Prep Room, versions before 2.2 do not freeze the parser after a button is pressed. This allows the player to press the same button multiple times, which gives the error message 'No action taken.'.
- In the Laser Machine Room, in what's probably a copy/paste error, the LOOK AREA description will always say that the laser machine is on if the player is on the lower level, even if it has been destroyed. This was fixed in Version 2.2.
- When loading the droid in earlier versions, there's no check in the game to tell whether or not the droid is in the correct position. Loading the droid too soon leads to a minor graphical glitch.
Miscellaneous
Mac os lion update free.
Version 2.2 adds a way to cheat at the slot machine. Type in 'HOLY SHIT' (You can replace Shit with any other expletive the game recognizes) to bring up a slot machine menu. This will configure the next pull of the slots.
The text for this menu was present in earlier versions, suggesting that this was a debugging tool that got added back in due to player complaints.
