* [**Multiple modes:**](concepts/mode.md) In the default `MONITOR` mode, all binaries except those marked as blocked will be allowed to run, while logged and recorded in the events database. In `LOCKDOWN` mode, only listed binaries are allowed to run.
* [**Event logging:**](concepts/events.md) All binary launches are logged. When in either mode, all unknown or denied binaries are stored in the database to enable later aggregation.
* [**Several supported rule types:**](concepts/rules.md) Executions can be allowed or denied by specifying rules based on several attributes. The supported rule types, in order of highest to lowest precedence are: CDHash, binary hash, Signing ID, certificate hash, or Team ID. Since multiple rules can apply to a given binary, Santa will apply the rule with the highest precedence (i.e. you could use a Team ID rule to allow all binaries from some organization, but also add a Signing ID rule to deny a specific binary). Rules based on code signature properties (Signing ID, certificate hash, and Team ID) only apply if a bianry's signature validates correctly.

* **Path-based rules (via NSRegularExpression/ICU):** Binaries can be allowed/blocked based on the path they are launched from by matching against a configurable regex.
* [**Failsafe cert rules:**](concepts/rules.md#built-in-rules) You cannot put in a deny rule that would block the certificate used to sign launchd, a.k.a. pid 1, and therefore all components used in macOS. The binaries in every OS update (and in some cases entire new versions) are therefore automatically allowed. This does not affect binaries from Apple's App Store, which uses various certs that change regularly for common apps. Likewise, you cannot block Santa itself.
* [**Components validate each other:**](binaries/index.md) Each of the components (the daemons, the GUI agent, and the command-line utility) communicate with each other using XPC and check that their signing certificates are identical before any communication is accepted.
