Firewall blocking check?
Firewall blocking check?
Does anyone know of a way to check programmatically if an app is being
blocked by the firewall in 10.5 or 10.6? I know you could use ipfw or
check the security plist in 10.4, but that doesn't work anymore. The
only thing I could find is the com.apple.alf.plist, which can tell me
if the firewall is on/off, and whether an application is allowed or
blocked.
The problem is, command line apps without a bundleid (like the app I'm
trying to check) do not show their name in the plist file. There is an
"alias" NSData entry, but it doesn't seem to be a standard alias
record. Does anyone know how to get the file path from this alias entry?
If there is a better way to check if the app is being blocked, please
let me know.
Thanks!
Karl
