Objective Development announces Little Snitch 1.1 for Mac OS X Vienna, Austria - January 14, 2003 -- Today Objective Development announced the availability of Little Snitch 1.1 for Mac OS X, a must-have security application that monitors outgoing network connections. If you do not like the idea of information possibly being gathered from your computer and being sent to who-knows-where for who-knows-what, Little Snitch helps. When opening applications some of them want to connect back to their authors' server, for instance to check for new versions. Some of them don't even tell you or ask for permission and you cannot control which information they send back. This is where Little Snitch jumps in: It pauses the application and brings up an alert, telling you which application tries to connect to which server. The remote server will only be contacted if you explicitly allow it. For routine decisions, Little Snitch can be configured. By creating rules you can always block or allow particular connections. What's new since version 1.0.3? - Temporary rules: These rules are automatically deleted when the related application quits. Creation of temporary rules is useful for testing whether the newly created rule corresponds to your needs before making them permanent. - This version is compatible with OS X 10.3 (Panther) including Fast User Switching. - Now Little Snitch provides improved reliability on attacks against Little Snitch itself. Little Snitch now reactivates itself if a different kernel module kicks it out of the kernel. - Better support for full screen applications which hide Little Snitch's alert: If the alert is not handled within a configurable timeout, it confirms automatically. - Lots of minor improvements and bug fixes, see http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/releasenotes.html for more information. Pricing and availability Little Snitch 1.1 for Mac OS X is available now and can be downloaded from http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/ Little Snitch provides a free, built-in demo mode with all the functionality of the registered version. The only limitation is that it will disable itself after three hours and you must start it again manually. Licenses are available for USD 24.95 per seat (online purchase over Internet only). Upgrading from previous versions is free, the old license keys are still valid. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to NetProLive, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the SUBJECT line reading "SUBSCRIBE NetProLive".
