Hello,
First, I'm pretty new to Mac OS X programming so please bear with my
ignorance.
I was hoping to get a bit of quick advice. I'm wanting to write a
little application that will kind of put my MacBook in a lock down
mode of sorts. It would need to block/ignore all network traffic
except for an app or two when you hit a button and then deactivate
when you hit another button to return to the original settings.
My question is whether or not there is a public API to interact with
the built-in firewall on Mac OS X 10.5 or if I would need to interface
with system preferences somehow and just setup the firewall to block
all connections except for the one app that I want to allow through or
if there is a completely different way to go about doing this. I
found a program called Little Snitch which seems similar but way
overkill for what I want to do and at first glance it looks like they
do things with the drivers or something like that which honestly is
above my head.
Thanks,
Chris Benedict
