Hi all,
I'm trying to evaluate whether to get a license for LittleSnitch
and have a couple of questions:
(1) Do I need to specify rules for a particular application in order
for LittleSnitch to trap and display any outgoing traffic from the
app in question?
(2) What kind of rule should I specify if the answer to (1) is Yes?
I am trying to see what TCP/IP traffic MS Word (10.1.6) generates on
Mac OSX 10.2.8 when I try to open a Word file on a remote Mac (same
OS and Word versions). I first have logged into the remote machine
via the Connect-to-Server GUI application from the local machine. I
am hoping LittleSnitch can indicate for me which port requests Word
is sending out as it tries to open a Word document on a remote
machine.
In demo mode, I see no pop-up windows from LittleSnitch when I open
remote Word documents. I easily get pop-ups from LittleSnitch when I
use Firefox or Eudora, for example. TCP/IP traffic from these apps
are on the ports I'd expected.
Likewise, when I bring up iTunes, I see no pop-ups from LittleSnitch,
even though I am sharing the iTunes library and have configured
iTunes to search for music upon opening.
Any ideas, or suggestions on how to get LittleSnitch to tell me what
Word and iTunes are up to would be greatly appreciated!
Ed
