- Correction: Quora User has told me that Little Snitch is a MacOS application. The argument does still apply - MacOS software can be closed source and as such you don’t always know what it’s doing.
- Jun 05, 2015 I have recently upgraded my little snitch software and noticed that disabling or removing protected rules is no longer possible. I would like to revert back to a previous version where i can remove or disable protected rules I don't like.
Jan 18, 2012 Well. The answer is the bug in Little Snitch. During the reported activity I was using Transmission (torrent client). Wireshark showed that Transmission send UDP to one of the peers, got ICMP in return (Destination unreachable) - and somehow Little Snitch assigns this kind of ICMP responses to the usbmuxd.

Little Snitch is a host-based application firewall for macOS. It can be used to monitor applications, preventing or permitting them to connect to attached networks through advanced rules. It is produced and maintained by the Austrian firm Objective Development Software GmbH.
Unlike a stateful firewall, which is designed primarily to protect a system from external attacks by restricting inbound traffic, Little Snitch is designed to protect privacy by limiting outbound traffic.[2] Little Snitch controls network traffic by registering kernel extensions through the standard application programming interface (API) provided by Apple.[3]
If an application or process attempts to establish a network connection, Little Snitch prevents the connection. A dialog is presented to the user which allows one to deny or permit the connection on a one-time or permanent basis. The dialog allows one to restrict the parameters of the connection, restricting it to a specific port, protocol or domain. Little Snitch's integral network monitor allows one to see ongoing traffic in real time with domain names and traffic direction displayed.
