Disable Infrared [IR]
Infrared [IR] kernel support must be disabled to prevent users from controlling the system with IR devices. By default, if IR is enabled, the system will accept IR control from any remote.
Parameter:
[enable/disable]
Technical Mechanism:
To check if IR support is disabled, run the following command:
sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleIRController DeviceEnabled
If the result is not '0', this is a finding.
