Malevolence is a exploit that allows users to view a unshadowed version of the /etc/password file on a Mac OS X computer. Malevolence is very easy to use, in either Terminal.app or though a telnet session just run Malevolence and it will create a file called "index.html" in the same directory as Malevolence. Then just open up the web browser of your choosing and view the index.html file that Malevolence created.
