A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out? Little Snitch does!
Protect your privacy
As soon as you’re connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever information they want to wherever they want.
Sometimes they do this for good reason, on your explicit request. But often they don’t. Little Snitch allows you to intercept these unwanted connection attempts, and lets you decide how to proceed.
Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.
Define whom you trust
Keep an eye on your traffic
Little Snitch includes a Network Monitor, showing detailed information of all incoming and outgoing network traffic.A status icon in the menu bar provides a summary of current network activity, and a monitor window with more comprehensive information pops up automatically in case of new traffic events.
Little Snitch es un cortafuegos (firewall) que protege al Mac, contra invitados no deseados a través de Internet y que evita y protege del envío de datos privados a cuestionarios online de registros y bases de datos. Little Snitch informa cada vez que un programa intenta establecer una conexión de Internet saliente. A continuación, puede optarse por permitir o denegar esta posibilidad o definir una orden, para manejar de forma similar esos futuros intentos de conexión. Esto impide que las empresas de marcas de productos se envíen de forma oculta y sin saberlo. También puede detectar actividad relacionada con virus de la red, troyanos y otros indeseables. Como novedades de esta nueva versión, comentar que, el instalador, ejecuta con seguridad la actualización desde versiones anteriores 2.0.2. Se ha conseguido optimizar el rendimiento de la aplicación en OS X Leopard (se han corregido varios errores de kernel)
