                'dynamic libraries (dylib) to load into a program based on '

                'A common method is to see what dylibs an application uses, '
                'then plant a malicious version with the same name higher up '
                'in the search path. This typically results in the dylib being '
                'in the same folder as the application itself. (Citation: '

                'into the application, the dylib will also run at that '
                'elevated level. This can be used by adversaries as a '
