When I saw this headline I assumed it was Little Snitch an existing network monitor and firewall for Macs.
Might need a different name.
Seems like a fine name. Why would little snitch existing necessitate a name change?
Wow that's so nice, would there be an equivalent for PC? (Windows or Linux)
I immediately thought of that too. The names these people come up with are so embarrassing. And I'm not even talking about the meaning of 'snitch'. But you already have a tool within the same IT area that is basically named the same. Why the hell would you do that? Aren't there other words in the dictionary?
There's also a Linux clone of little snitch, OpenSnitch.
