Little Flocker Description #197

Closed nadavP3 closed 7 years ago

nadavP3 commented 7 years ago

Little Flocker now offers both stable release channel and a nightly release channel. As of version 1.4 (yet to be released, but is available in the nightly channel at the moment) the program can now also: 1) detect and warn about active keylogger(s) 2) warn when activation of webcam or microphone is detected in a future build the software might be able to detect and warn about network packet monitoring. 3) detect local network packet interception (think WireShark)

Thus

Line 1268 should be updated to:

Using an application such as Little Flocker can also protect parts of the filesystem from unauthorized writes("A Firewall for your files") similar to how Little Snitch protects the network. Little Flocker is now available in both stable release and a nightly build, additionally as of version 1.4 it also alerts if KeyLoggers are detected and when either the Microphone or Webcam is accessed, can also detect network packet local interception, theres also an option to require use of TouchBar in order to respond to prompts.

Source Webcam-Microphone usage Detection, Source KeyLogger Detection, Source TouchBar Requirement, Source exploit found, Source exploit mitigated, Source how it works, support blocking access to raw network packet devices to help prevent unauthorized sniffing

Line 1897 should be updated to: Little Flocker - "Little Snitch for files"; prevents applications from accessing files. Detect and warns about Keyloggers, Webcam and Microphone activation as well as local network packet interception.

Thanks for the heads up. Jonathan kindly provided me with a license for LF, so I will be expanding the guide to include a whole section about the software soon, similar to the current section on Santa.

My license is no longer valid and LF is too cumbersome for my daily use, so shelving this idea for now. Happy to accept PRs from LF users wishing to detail how the program works and is configured.
