GlowWorm FW Lite

GlowWorm FW Lite, a rule-based network security and monitoring application, allows users to set acceptable network behavior based on address, port, and application. This tool notifies users with an authorization dialog whenever there is unauthorized network activity. With a set of connection criteria such as addresses, ports, relevant endpoint, and protocol, users can define rules to their liking. The lifespan of a rule can also be restricted by the lifetime of an application or until the machine reboots. Moreover, rules can be limited to specific users, groups, or applications.

Relative Network Names enable users to specify symbolic endpoint addresses like localhost, localnet, or remotenet instead of hard-coded IP subnet addresses. Rule Actions can also alert users with a customizable dialog message based on an sprintf-like format so that users can choose the information to include. GlowWorm FW Lite supports incoming and listener connections to provide better control of network traffic than the Mac OS X Firewall. Furthermore, prioritizing rules is an easy and intuitive process with drag-and-drop rule re-ordering.

Overall, GlowWorm FW Lite is a useful tool for maintaining network security and monitoring unauthorized network activity. With its easy-to-use interface and customizable features, this software can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the user.
