MARTIJNVP Is there a version of LogKext for Snow Leopard?? 2.2 does not work any more...:( (Version 2.2) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Actually, I believe the issue is that the command "sudo" on Leopard does not support accounts with a password. (Version 2.2) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Warning: When updating to 2.2, you will lose the ability to decrypt your old 2.1 logfile. If you need it, you should back it up in an unencrypted format. (Version 2.2) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE To get both, you have to check "Also use manual filters for blocking." This will be on by default in the next rev, see http://code.google.com/p/safariblock/issues/detail?id=10 "Also use manual filters should be on by default" (Version 2.0r2) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Why won't you be able to install it? If you have security concerns that prevent you from installing, please let me know what they are specifically. However, the nice thing about 2.0, is that I've open sourced it. So if you have security concerns, you can read the entire source code. If by virus protection, you meant security patches... installing an InputManagers is not going to disable any security fixes. It's simply an casually used and unsupported way to load code into every application. If you know what you're doing, it's extremely useful. Maybe we should take this discussion to a private email – I'd love to talk to you further about this. (Version 2.0r2) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Terenovo, I'm afraid you are a bit confused. First, InputManagers in Leopard work identically to in Tiger, only there are some additional permissions restrictions on installing them. They are no more or less a hack than they were in Tiger. Second, Leopard doesn't have built-in virus protection. Third, while it would be nice to switch to a plugin, it would be more work to achieve the same goal, and there would be no security benefit gained. (Version 2.0r2) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE I have one crashlog from 10.4. It appears that there is an incompatibility with Tiger. Please track this at http://code.google.com/p/safariblock/issues/list. You may also file a new bug, if you include the crash log. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. (Version 2.0) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Hehe, just the stuff you can get from Facebok platform. Like it corrects names in your address book (adding middle names/suffixes/prefixes), adds addresses, and adds photos. Oh, and birthdays. But that's... pretty much it. :-( (Version 2.1) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Ooookk... well they appear to be cookies added by fsb.mackb.net when the url http://fsb.mackb.net/SafariBlockVersion.plist is accessed. fsb.mackb.net was my old website and mackb.net is now up for sale apparently. Look like I forgot to change the URL to http://fsbsoftware.com/SafariBlockVersion.plist in 1.15 too. But the idea that I am somehow tracking users via these cookies when they check "Check for Updates on Load" or doing something otherwise nefarious is just silly and offensive to me, and there are many things wrong with the assertion. Primarily, you're already running the code I wrote on your machine, so the use of cookies (especially cookies that are optional with a checkbox) for tracking (which are pitiful for tracking anyway, since they are only sent to one website domain and can be trivially deleted) is pointless. If I, or anyone who wrote an application that you've run, wanted to track your behavior online, they could simply install a user-level backdoor on your machine that wouldn't use cookies or otherwise leave any trace of its existence. Especially since SafariBlock is already installed in the InputManagers directory, which is essentially a hook into almost every application that you run on your machine. When you download and install applications, especially free applications, on your machine, you're engaging in a bond of trust with the software author, just like when you perform any transaction with any vendor, from a car dealership to a lemonade stand. Additionally the suggestion that, because I clearly have software security knowledge (as evidenced by my other software, such as my keylogger or decompiler), I am therefore untrustworthy is inane. I write software not for the user who uses it (sorry?) but because I'm interested in the implementation. I was interested in kernel-level key logging and password brute forcing. I wrote SafariBlock for myself, because I hate ads (as I said in the description). If you're worried about the security of your computer, you should be more worried about the inexperienced developer with little knowledge of software security (just enough to hurt you). But the type of person who releases useful software for free is very rarely (I would posit never) the type of person who includes malicious code in it. But your computer is your property, you're always free to install or not install whatever you want on it, I don't care. (Version 1.15) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Then don't download the software that I spent my time on and am offering for free. You get what you pay for. I can't believe that people would complain about something that is useful, offered for free, and takes time to create. (Version 1.15) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE No idea what those cookies are, but they have nothing to do with SafariBlock, and you apparently have no idea what you're talking about. If you don't want to use SafariBlock then don't download it. (Version 1.14) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE If you check "always update updated" people will no longer show up in your update list, but they will always be updated in your addressbook. (Version 2.0b) | |

FSB_SOFTWARE Hi, I'm the developer. Unfortunately my web host removed my website without any warning and refuses to respond to my emails. If anyone can host my website for free, please contact me at braden127 at myrealbox dot com. It's only 10 megs and doesn't use any server-side scripts. I would prefer my own subdomain. Thanks...

BRADEN THOMAS Thanks to last poster for providing some wordlist URL.. Here's the URL I would use and you should definitely check out if you're looking for wordlists-- the definitive collection: http://packetstormsecurity.nl/Crackers/wordlists/ p.s. mackrack is unrelated to unix crack, or the old OS 9 program mackrack, or any other program ever written with a similar sounding name (Version 1.1) | |

JIMW Your list is better than mine but then you should have included it with the readme to begin with. I also would strongly suggest including a word list as an example to use as a dictionary with the program so that new users get a real example on how the program pieces fit together. Perhaps a sample password file to be broken would also be helpful. Giving it the same name as a previously named program is an open invitation to confusion regarding its pedigree. I also suggest you might consider changing the name - perhaps to something that might sound the same but is spelled differently. That way people will not be as likely to mix up its history as you indicate I have done. (Version 1.1) | |

ANONYMOUS JimW, I would like to note, I have seen you post on MacUpdate in numerous places, and in all of them you come off as an arrogant jerk. There is no need to be so rude, especially at someone who has spent so much time on a magnificent program which they are releasing for free. Now, I apologize for the flame, I am not trying to start a post war. On a similar note, I agree with the idea to provide a link with the program, and I think it is an excellent idea to provide a sample password file to be cracked. (Version 1.1) | |

BRADEN THOMAS Hi, I'm the developer of this app, my name is Braden. Apparently I didn't give enough information (read the read me file included), and my website doesn't have much info, but it's certainly no trojan. Regarding the file format it cracks, it only accepts text files, one as a dictionary (if in dictionary mode) and the other as a password file. The password file should contain hashes in MD5 or SHA1. It won't crack stuffit files, and is primarily designed for people who want to descrypt passwords from databases or web applications. If you don't know what MD5 or SHA1 are, don't download it. (Version 1.1) | |

JIMW If you were user friendly, you would have taken the slight extra effort it required and provided a dictionary file and some basic usage instructions in your readme. Shame on you. (Version 1.1) | |
