Hey there,
You should focus on OSX like any other unix based flavor.
Pay also attention to the its softwares and components (AirPort vuls,
safari, Dashboard...)
Nessus OSX version could be a good start to have an overview of the
security status and also to identify vulnerabilities related to other
protocols (dont forget, it is based on BSD)

Subject: Penetration Testing on Mac OS X
My customer recently got to me and asked my opinion about the security of
Mac OS X. Specifically he wanted to know, how easy it is to break into
this
operating system and if Mac OS X has the same kind of vulnerabilities as
other known operating systems.
I would like to point out the pros and contras of this operating system.
Could you help me with informations regarding vulnerabilities, facts and
figures about implemented security details in this operating system,
tutorials, etc.... ?
thanks very much for helping
greetings michael
