DEFAULT APP MAC OS X SOFTWARE
there are, no doubt, situations that do justify the use of software firewalls, i can't deny that. a firewall will not help you against a virus/trojan.Īnyway, i would much rather KNOW what services are listening/running on my computer and run without a software firewall. i think he's annoyed at being asked if he'd like to allow itunes to access the network every time he starts it up.Īnd to be a bit semantical, viruses don't have much to do with a firewall. You know people, you gotta leave the hatred at the door. I've had Apple products since 1981 and I have actually had seen disasters pertaining to a virus or worm hit these things. I'll turn on the firewall now that I know its off, thanks. Waaaaaa? Are you actually serious? You dont actually believe that our Mac is immune to viri just because its a Mac, do you? Please. That's some Windows-like shit right there and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it. The worm could then spread inside the networks.
DEFAULT APP MAC OS X WINDOWS
Corporate firewalls kept it out, but people who'd been out on the road were coming back in and hooking up infected Windows 2000 laptops after the weekend. On Windows - I recall that a lot of big-name companies got hit by the Zotob worm. I suppose people with really sensitive material on their laptops, government people, etc., probably disable anything they don't need - including Bonjour. It is not clear whether any of the bug fixes are relevant in this scenario and if Apple back-ported fixes from more recent versions.Īpple are notorious for that - for being behind on versions with open source software. Apple uses ntpd 4.2.2, the current version is 4.2.4. The fact that Apple uses versions of open source software in which bugs have already been found and documented by the developers is cause for concern. Whether the accessible services currently represent a security risk is hard to judge. It wasn't until the second day (where a user interaction from the victim machine was allowed) that Charlie Miller was able to "pwn" the Mac by having the user visit a hostile webpage in Safari. I did some research and apparently there was a $20,000 prize during the 2008 Pwn2Own competition if someone could take over a MacBook Air w' Leopard via a remote exploit, but nobody even attempted it. My antivirus program stopped it though.Īre there any documented cases of Macs being "pwned" when connected to a network right out of the box? I once had a laptop years ago that got attacked by a worm that was plaguing my university's network. If the firewall isn't up by default, doesn't that mean people could remotely attack the machine more easily? This wasn't a big issue, because they are behind a Verizon FIOS box that already has a built-in firewall, but I can see that this might be a problem in places where there are lots of computers on the same network, and some might be hostile.įor example, say I bought a new Mac and wasn't really familiar with the settings, and connected it to a university network where there are many other computers. I helped my in-laws tweak a MacBook with Snow Leopard and I seem to remember that the firewall's default configuration is "off". Something that has been bugging me for awhile.
