  Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes and devices in use by all running processes. Nice GUI for lsof.

I haven't reviewed obj-c code in over a decade, but I do know anything running with root authorization needs to be scrutinized carefully. And seeing blocks of code copy-pasted from stackoverflow, references to a 10 year old operating system, use of SIGKILL instead of the proper SIGTERM, for example, does not exactly inspire the necessary confidence.
