Dec 02, 2014 I turned on the wifi the other day just to get whatever time and XProtect updates might be available, and Little Snitch informed me of an outgoing connection to UserEventAgent (port 80) and 2 connections to apsd (Apple Push Service, port 5223). I have never seen a 5223 connection before, ever. Feb 27, 2009 Just got home from work and Little Snitch is reporting that the following processes. Sshd launchproxy Mac OS X kernal.are pretty much constantly connecting to 78.107.128.250 Looked at bit suspicious so i told Little Snitch to block all application from accessing that IP address.
OK: Mac OS 10.10.1, LS 3.5.1, macbook pro.0:42.82 /Library/Little Snitch/Little Snitch Daemon.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Little Snitch Daemon.
I noticed a little notification popped up at reboot.
Sait connection attempts were made during login, but I think it said were blocked.
So I went to LS 'Suggested rules' and I saw two connection attempts, and teh 'suggeted' rule was to allow.
1) softwareupdated tried to connect to apple.com

2) UserEventAgent tried to connect to itools.info
Hmm, sounds Apple-ish. But it isn't, it's a third-party developer.
So I created a rule to 'ask' and rebooted.
Comes again.
1) softwareupdated tried to connect to apple.com
2) UserEventAgent tried to connect to ibook.info
That's weird. I have apple ibooks. This is ibook. Different, not part of apple.
I create a rule. Deny all connections!
Reboot.
1) softwareupdated tried to connect to apple.com
2) UserEventAgent tried to connect to airport.us

So, now I am starting to suspect malware is on my mac. It keeps trying a new site, and no matter what I do it will try a new one for every rule I create.
So the question:
are all connection attempts during login turned down by LS?
Are the suggestion rules 'allow' by default jsut that, a suggestion, or has LS allowed connections?
And is there a way to find out what script or app was calling UserEventAgent? Does LS tell me that?
It looks like malware is doing something. The only scripts I auto-run at login are LS, and Adobe (argh).

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.
The application (version 4) received a positive 4.5/5 review from Macworld.[4]
