MacBook Retains Hidden Passive FTP Setting After Apple Store Reset
Original: Background Passive FTP with No GUI Control Survives Apple Store DFU
A Mac user reports that passive FTP was found enabled on their MacBook even after an Apple Store performed a DFU device firmware reset, and that macOS offers no GUI control to turn it off. The write-up describes the finding and other observations from the reset process, raising questions about what settings persist through Apple's own restore procedures and how users can manage them.
Why now: The persistence of a legacy, undocumented network setting through an official Apple reset is surprising and raises privacy and security concerns.
