Cocoa Developers,
Is it possible for my cocoa app to block access to a specific web
address ie. "www.news.com' without using other software/firewall? and
is there any open source firewalls for OSX?
OSX includes IPFW.
Try "man ipfw" in a terminal window.
In fact, all of the firewall GUIs for OSX are pretty much just shells
around the ipfw command.
Here's a good article to start with:
http://wopr.norad.org/articles/firewall/
After that one, proceed to the BSD websites.
