Absolut minimum rules to go online
Hi,
Little Snitch comes with a set of rules to allow access to a lot of services (like iCloud, AppStore) activated by default. This set, however, is not at all necessary to establish and keep alive an internet connection. It is a comfortable choice to have Mac OS X well integrating with Apple's infrastructure. Sometimes, however, one needs purity.
I tried to deactivate all of the rules and activate one after the other (without really knowing about dependencies, etc.). This was a big failure and I had to reset everything. Now my question is: What is a minimum ruleset that needs to be active and configured (in what way) so that I can establish and keep an internet connection?
Thank you,
Michael

Re: Vast number of new connections
rsharbes1, you're using the wrong tool! You need to install something like Adblock+ in your browser, along with appropriate subscriptions, eg. EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and Fanboy's Annoyance List. That will do everything you ask for. Using Little Snitch to try to do this will just make you crazy, that's not what it's designed for!

Re: Absolut minimum rules to go online
I think this is best approached from the other direction than what you tried: Start with a working setup, and disable one rule at a time and observe what happens. It will take a while, but it's a lot easier and you'll end up with a ruleset that meets your specific needs.
That said, here are some thoughts that might make things easier:
The browser will need outbound access to ports 80 (http) and 443 (https), so keep those two rules. Add blocking rules to specific sites or domains as desired.
The default rule for mDNSResponder should be left as is, at least at first. It does DNS lookups, among other things.
Some browsers like to do their own DNS lookups, in which case they will ask for outbound connections on port 53 (domain) to a DNS server. It's an alternate way to get IP addresses and is OK to allow.
The boot process will probably need connections to port 67 (bootps) and port 68 (bootpc) to your ISP. I would allow whatever process asks for these connections (configd on Snow Leopard and earlier, don't know about newer OSes).
Under "Any Process", allow incoming UDP and ICMP, otherwise things get messy.

AVR-Doper: Swap in ATmega168 for ATmega8?
Can anyone tell me if the AVR-Doper firmware needs to be changed if I want to use an ATmega168 instead of an ATmega8 for the circuit? Beyond just updating the Makefile, I mean -- are there any material changes to pins used, interrupt setup, etc? Thanks!

Append text to beginning of file?
Is there a Launchbar setting or method for appending text to the *beginning* of a file?
I love the ability to append via Instant Send > Filename, so that would be my preferred method of appending to the beginning of a file.
Thanks for any advice!

static uchar usbIsReset; /* = 0; USB bus is in reset phase
Hi: This is the declaration of usbIsReset, in usbdrv.c (This is a version from 2008, so perhaps this variable no longer exists):
I think the comment is wrong. usbIsReset = 0 when out of reset. Am I right? Another question is this: what is it used for? Only to set usbDeviceId and usbNewDeviceId to zero? And by the way: these two variables are actually the address field of the package, are they not?

Compile HIDKeys with AVR Studio4
Hi,
I tried compiling the HIDKeys sources with AVR Studio4 but failed..
I get all the time the following Error:
Desktop\HIDKeys.2012-12-08\default/../HIDKeys.2012-12-08/main.c:281: undefined reference to `usbInterruptIsReady'
Desktop\HIDKeys.2012-12-08\default/../HIDKeys.2012-12-08/main.c:286: undefined reference to `usbSetInterrupt'
Does anybody know what's wrong there?
i just need one button but i'd like to set value/key with a rotary code switch.
Btw is it also possible to use the code stated above with small modifications on a tiny 2313?
Thank you!

Re: static uchar usbIsReset; /* = 0; USB bus is in reset p
I couldn't find that variable in several of the 2008 versions. From the comment, it looks more like it's just trying to emphasize that static objects in C are initialized to 0 if no initializer is present. In other versions there's a local static for calling a user-defined reset handler only once, and the variable is used to keep track of whether it's been called, so maybe this is for that purpose.

Does usbPoll() get executed before entry to the ISR?
Hi: This is part of the main module running on the device (GNU C):
At device insertion (attachment), after a certain time the device rail voltage stabilizes. Then, two things happen: the device microcontroller is reset and the host (or hub) sends an SE0 to reset the device. The microcontroller, an ATtiny85 from Atmel, uses the ~RESET pin as an output. So, the reset mechanism is internal to the micro. Also, the device is not self-powered, so it uses the USB 5V and a low threshold 3.3V regulator to power the micro. Measuring time from when the USB supply reaches, say, 4.1V, there are two intervals: delta_t1, when the micro exits reset, and delta_t2, when an SE0 occurs on D-, D+ and the micro's INT0 pin is asserted. The interrupt service routine (ISR) in usbdrvasm.S begins execution as soon as sei() (above, code block) is executed. From the USB specification, revision 1.1, September 23, 1998, Figure 7-19, section 7.1.7.1:
![Image]()
My question is: is there enough time for usbPoll() to complete execution for the first time before control goes to the ISR?
- int main(void)
{
DDRB = 0x22; // 0010 0010 PB1=SDA and PB5=SCL are output
PORTB = 0x22; //SDA=SCL=1
usbInit();
sei();
for(;;){ // main event loop
usbPoll();
}
return 0;
}

Re: Does usbPoll() get executed before entry to the ISR?
>it uses the USB 5V and a low threshold 3.3V regulator
Can the Attiny 85 do 12 MHz at 3.3V? I am certain this is out of spec.
> is there enough time for usbPoll() to complete execution for the first time before control goes to the ISR?
If you clear pending interrupts before the SEI there may be. Otherwise the is most likely an interrupt pending and the ISR is called. You should mention what you are doing before the SEI.

Re: Minimal USB implementation
Update: I managed to get it to work on a meager ATtiny10!
>Here was an attempt I made at inlining the CRC routine and communicating what registers it trashed
Excellent idea. In fact I can onto a lot of trouble with registers on the ATiny10. I will look into this.

Re: AVR-Doper: Swap in ATmega168 for ATmega8?
The pins are identical, the only code changes out of make are the timers. If you dont use timers your good to go. also the usb diodes have to be 1/2 watt 1/4 will not work. Not sure if that is the same for the AVR-Doper but it is for the v-usb usb interface.

Little Snitch: How to keep potential hackers out?
Hello All!
I am posting this because I have not seen an answer to this question yet.
I am a recent purchaser of Little Snitch. I am not and have never been well versed in hacking and computer programming and things of that nature so please be patient with me.
I am trying to use Little Snitch to keep anyone from being able to access my personal information through iCloud hacking or mounting (?) as I've had some problems in the past with this and I just want to secure my computer and be sure that it cannot happen again.
I tried to disable all the mounting features and then I "think" (because it is still difficult for me to decode computer phrases) I read that mDNSresponder can still allow programs to access your information through Bonjour? So I tried to disable this in Little Snitch and the software went crazy, new rules were being created by the second. Is there another way to navigate this.
I will attach some screen shots of what my program looks like now and if any one familiar with advanced *hacking* could tell me where possibility insecurities are and how I can guard them. Also If there are other ways a system could be compromised remotely I would love to know how to prevent it. I don't download torrent files and I own a Macbook Air running OSX 10.8.5
Thanks in advance.

Re: Little Snitch: How to keep potential hackers out?
Never mind I think I did find my answer. I think that I am finally okay with what I have deactivated and I can be safe with what I disabled now.
If anyone thinks otherwise please chime in! Thanks
