curl is a Commanline tool for retrieving or sending files over a network connection.
It usually works with ftp or http protocoll.
It is also sometimes used by Shell/Perl/Apple scripts and so on but it might also be missused by trojans.

type 'man curl' in Terminal if you want to know how curl works

Does anyone know who's behind "curl" and what it's about? Which software is it associated with? Is it spyware, legit, something in between or what?

Littlesnitch comes back with a message saying "curl" wants to talk to:

hs47.easymediasolutions.com
TCP port 80 http


In a like vein, it's nice that Littlesnitch intercepts all these phone home requests but how can we reference the good/legit requests "white hat software" from the bad/nefarious "black hat software" requests?

Is there an online directory that we can check against or are we just left to trial-and-error?
