05/07/2020

the two levels of forcepoint neuterage
level 1 - it's still hooked the kernel,  but can't filter anymore... add to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 ngep.blackspider.com
127.0.0.1 download.global.blackspider.com
not being able to talk to the mgmt servers the filtering engine just stops filtering things
next you'll need to boot from recovery console to whack the kext
mount your disk, chroot into it
in /Library/Application Support/Websense Endpoint/DC  rename the kext file there to something like "kextskip"
touch ForcepointEndpointDC.kext
chflags schg ForcepointEndpointDC.kext
do the same thing in /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Application Support/Websense Endpoint/DC/
exit out of recovery console, unmount your disk
reboot

Alternate
`alias killfp='while [[ 1 ]]; do sudo killall -9 fpdcd; done'`
