Sep 06, 2008 Hi All, I installed and then thre wout Little Snitch because it was driving me crazy popping up asking me every 5 seconds if it wanted to talk to this site and then that site. I trashed it with AppDelete, but for some reason it's still popping up from time to time and I'm sure its behind. Feb 11, 2018 I got little snitch for just this reason. I block everything until I look it up, auto deny everything go back and fix later. Do a Whois on the domain name that's trying to open and do a trace route or even search for the site on google and see what you find. You can usually get a. Jun 08, 2018 For iMessage to sync with iCloud, it seems that I have to sign out and in iCloud then sign out and in iMessage. Using the latest tool. Everything works well except when I run the latest Little Snitch nightly, the Little Snitch daemon uses up pretty much all my CPU. I've tried force rebuilding cache, the sudo kextcache, reinstalled Little. For those who don't know, LittleSnitch is a great application that lets you block outgoing network connections. It's very useful to stop apps (such as trojan horses) from 'calling home.' The problem is I often log into home via ssh, and want to use stuff like curl, for which I do not want to define a specific rule and would rather have LittleSnitch ask me every time.

I think that is is absolutely a testament to the credibility of Little Snitch and obdev that it lets itself block itself. Oct 17, 2013 An iMessage is a bplist. The iMessage payload as seen earlier in the PUSH Protocol section is a binary plist. Binary plist (a.k.a. Bplist) is an Apple standard property list file. A bplist stores serialized objects. Serializes an NSDictionary as the root object Objects can be of type NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSData, NSArray. I used to block all AIM ads with Little Snitch by blocking port 80 for the AIM app-this takes care of all the ads and didn't cause any problems for me (that I noticed) with other features. I'm using Adium these days though, so I haven't tried this in a few months.
Hi everyone,I was wondering if someone could explain the protected rules at the top of the LS configuration, and why I would enable or disable them?
What are ICMP/UDP incoming connections? I know the right hand side of the LS configuration provides a little explanation for both, but I would like some more information on it. Would my internet experience suffer if I were to disable them? What's the risk, in terms of malware/remote access, if I kept them enabled?
Also - allowing outgoing or incoming connections to my local network - why would I or wouldn't I need to do that? Does it open me up to infecting my system if other machines on the network are infected (especially if I'm using public wi-fi)? I'm on the home wi-fi and I tried testing it out just then by disabling the incoming connections from local network rule. Within 5 minutes LS notified me that my Macbook (system, not me) tried to establish incoming connections to mDNSResponder, port 5353:
- from the IPv4 address associated with my Macbook on the home wifi- from fe##::####:#$$$:$$$#:##$$
- from fe##::$$$$:##$$:$$#$:##$#
(I figured I should disguise it just in case? Anyway, hashes are numbers, dollar signs are letters)
