Show active connections and data transferred #29

Open mac-dev opened 5 years ago

mac-dev commented 5 years ago

Could lockdown show data transfer volumes and could this be limited? I am thinking about a way to mitigate the recent ios hack in the future. A tool like little snitch on the iPhone would have possibly warned us if somone would be trying to get access to your data. Little Snitch often made me check suspicios connections. Especially if there is loads of outgoing data to non Apple or maybe other authorized connections, it could be very useful to get a notification

AFAIK iOS doesn't allow us to access data transfer volumes, if anyone is aware of an API for this, please let me know.

Usage seems to be able to access it, not sure of what the limitations are though.

Edit: It can access data transfer rates at least.

It doesn’t look like it Usage is able to tell you what app/site is being transferred the volume of data. Let me know if I am misunderstanding something.

@hijohnnylin indeed, sorry, I edited my comment after initially posting to try and clarify that it can display overall data transfer rate in/out at least. So probably not too much help sadly :(
