For those Mac users who are unfamiliar with objective-see... Their free security tools for MacOS are a boon to the community. I think that they are right up there with "little snitch" and the like, especially since they spare the user the typical IDS data overload.

- djsumdog 9y agoI not longer use macOS, but Block Block looks pretty interesting. I couldn't tell from their website, but is it intended to eventually be a commercial product once out of beta? I didn't seem like it was open source.

- idm 9y agoThank you for highlighting this! I wasn't aware of Patrick's software until you mentioned it, but there's a lot of great stuff there: - KnockKnock: perform system scan to list everything you have installed, like kexts, browser components, startup scripts, etc. - BlockBlock: continuously monitor system for changes to startup scripts - TaskExplorer: tool to examine a running processes - Oversight: continuously monitor microphone and webcam activity Nice UX too.
