Hi,

The GUI can say "kernel extension, allow all traffic". But the kernel extension can't say "GUI, we have a new log entry"? So how does the GUI get the log entries?

Bye,
Nils

Hi,

I would like to build something like a firewall. I think, I'll need a
kernel extension for that. But how can the GUI application "talk" with
the kext? The GUI will show the blocked and the allowed connections in
a table view. How could it get this informations?

You have several options: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/KernelProgramming/boundaries/chapter_14_section_1.html
