Product Description:

A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out? Little Snitch does!

Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.

What's new in this version:

New rules can now be created by dragging an application icon into the rules window.
Added a new "Turn into Global Rule" command to contextual menu.
Improved alert message when attempting to delete a protected rule.
Improved detection of invalid process paths.
Added "via" info to summary of "Don't show in Network Monitor" rules.
The "Buy" button is now removed after successful registration.
Fixed: Clicking in the application column didn't select all rules of this process.
Fixed: Changing a rule's "approved" status didn't immediately update the status icon.
Fixed: Long hangs after accepting / editing rules.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Indispensable.

Needs easier way of creating new rules - Version: 2.2, 12/10/2009 10:24PM PST

Jay

It takes too many clicks to create a new rule, mostly because the STUPID defaults are to "Allow connections" instead of deny them, which is what people are doing 80% of the time; and to make the new rule for "All Applications" instead of "Choose an application", which again is what people are doing 80% of the time. Why haven't the devs figured this out?
