Hi,
It is, of course, technically possible to implement some kind of API
where external processes can edit rules. However, this would make
Little Snitch useless as an anti-spyware tool. Spyware, worms and
viruses are already trying to edit Little Snitch's rules to their
favor and we have done everything to prevent this.
You therefore can't simply edit the plist file because it is
protected. When it is externally modified, Little Snitch will complain.

Hi,
I emailed the support some time ago to know if there was a way to
add or change rules from the shell using a command line interface. I
was told it was not possible.
I come back here to know if it is still not possible or if the
Dashboard addon would allow that ?
In this case, how ?
As the configuration is stored in a "sort of" .plist file, it should
be easy to add some new things to it.
But will Little snitch take it in account ?
If not, how would it be possible to tell littlesnitch to "reload"
it's configuration file ? maybe a kind of unix "kill -HUP" on a
process or an applescript event would do it ?
Thanks,

This is a good point :)
but...
As is it possible to add rules using a GUI interface, why isn't it
possible to add it by command line ? A password protected app (maybe
with a password protected cert key) may do the trick.
Even if viruses or spyware are sometimes dumb, your answer only say that
a spyware using the osX API to move the mouse on the "ok" button would
pass through LittleSnitch... :(
I'm sure something can be done without compromising LittleSnitch's job.
