Firewalls

  • Little Snitch: It will monitor every connection made by each process. Depending on the mode (silent allow connections, silent deny connection and alert) it will show you an alert every time a new connection is stablished. It also has a very nice GUI to see all this information.

  • LuLu: Objective-See firewall. This is a basic firewall that will alert you for suspicious connections (it has a GUI but it isn't as fancy as the one of Little Snitch).

Persistence detection

  • KnockKnock: Objective-See application that will search in several locations where malware could be persisting (it's a one-shot tool, not a monitoring service).

  • BlockBlock: Like KnockKnock by monitoring processes that generate persistence.

Keyloggers detection

  • ReiKey: Objective-See application to find keyloggers that install keyboard "event taps"
