Hi John,

To use a kernel driver in Ventura you need to change the boot policy, which you have done.

After that you need to go to Settings > Security and give the driver permission to run.

That is, first you need to give the driver permission to load, then it needs to be given permission to run.

If you desire a kernel driver you should use the latest version, 6.2.17-3, linked to below.

But Apple has deprecated kernel space divers (kext) and at some point they will stop working. It is recommended to use the user space driver (dext).  You can download the Pegasus DEXT driver here.
