5 years ago I found LS was unable detect any traffic out of a VMWare virtual machine running on the same Mac. Sure the VM is running through some installed virtual network adapter, but if that's all it takes an attacker can set up one of her own. Cool Hollywood interface but I gave up on LS as a serious security tool right there.
- _qulr 6y agoI can't speak about 5 years ago, but I was using Little Snitch with VMWare last year, and it worked. I had to specifically allow the VMWare process.
- Sporktacular 6y agoGuest traffic was visible when the VM was in NAT mode, but when switched to Bridged mode traffic went straight through with LS unaware. I suppose LS was only sniffing the standard adapters, though this could have been improved since.
- _qulr 6y agoI was only trialing VMWare before, so unfortunately I can't test this anymore.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoHeads up that VMWare Fusion has a free version on Mac as of this month. :)
- belthesar 6y agoThat's likely because VMWare Workstation's bridge mode likely injects into the networking stack at the same point that Little Snitch does.
