The Who's There? Firewall Advisor, from Open Door Networks, works
with your Macintosh's firewall to help you analyze, understand
and respond to access attempts detected by the firewall. Who's
There? reads the log file produced by your firewall, and then
allows you to:
- view access attempts based on several criteria, including date and
risk level
- analyze access attempts to determine factors like risk level
- understand issues associated with specific access attempts, as well as broader
security concerns
- summarize accesses by IP address and service type (port number)
- investigate details of the accessor's IP address, including their network's
location and administrator's email address
- draft an email to the network administrator about the access
Who's There? analyzes access attempts and provides advice specific
to the Mac OS X environment. Being Unix-based, Mac OS X introduces
security risks that did not exist with previous versions of the
Mac OS. Who's There? provides advice about these new risks.
There is much that's new and different in Who's There? 2.0. For
details on new features, see the What's New section of this user's guide. One new feature is integration
with our book, Internet Security for Your Macintosh. Chapter numbers and section names of relevant passages from
this book are indicated throughout this User's Guide in blue italics.
