FUSE-T is a kext-less implementation of FUSE for macOS that uses NFS v4 local server instead of a kernel extension.
The main motivation for this project is to replace macfuse (https://osxfuse.github.io/) that implements its own kext to make fuse work. With each version of macOS it's getting harder and harder to load kernel extensions. Apple strongly discourages it and, for this reason, software distributions that include macfuse are very difficult to install.
Additionally, the macfuse kext is unstable, may cause frequent system crashes and kernel lock-ups. Given those limitations many software publishers are unable to use macfuse anymore.
FUSE-T doesn't make use of kernel extension, it implements its own userspace server that converts between FUSE protocol and NFS calls and let macOS mount NFS volume instead of a kernel filesystem.
An Application for Inspecting macOS Installer Packages
Every macOS Installer Package Looks the Same
Consider a few macOS Installer packages:
4 packages that don't look any different
One contains a useful and well-designed product, which can't be easily installed using drag-and-drop.
One contains well-intentioned software that will nevertheless splatter pieces all over your startup disk.
One contains a vital component — like a scanner driver — but will also install a handful of annoying, unwanted applications that the driver vendor distributes in return for “promotional consideration.”
One contains malware that will infest your system and your network, and probably ruin your week.
Which one is which? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The answer in macOS has traditionally been “install it and find out!”
The built-in security features of macOS — such as Gatekeeper, package signing and most recently, notarization — might rule out malware ... if you're lucky. But there's still a huge gray area between that and a well-designed package.
