Does anybody now how to disable all hashing on macOS? The best I could do was disable GateKeeper with `sudo spctl --master-disable`.

You can also disable code signing enforcement and amfi by adding the following boot args:

cs_enforcement_disable=1 amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1

Would anyone be able to explain more specifically how cs_enforcement_disable is is different from disabling Gatekeeper?

Thanks, you can also disable library code signing validation too:

`sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true`

Install another OS? *

There are some work around in this thread but in reality you don't know how and when Apple may choose to automatically re-enable it without your consent.

* You should probably just smack you Mac with a rock just to be sure ;)

I believe GateKeeper only works on first launch.
