All successful, and most plausible, malware attacks on Mac OS X have occurred in the last 2 years with the last quarter of 2007 being particularly prolific. Market penetration and overall sales of the Mac OS X system have directly mirrored development of malware, a phenomenon also demonstrated with other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Based on this data there is no reason to believe the trend will not continue as Apple continues to increase their market share.

The concept of the economy of scale has historically meant that malware authors have not previously considered the Mac a viable target. This protection is being eroded by the increase in size of the Mac user base.

IDC analyst Chris Christiansen is warning Mac users of the growing threat.



"Most Mac users take security too lightly. In fact, most are quite proud of the fact that they don’t run any security at all," Christiansen said. "That’s an open door; at some point it will be exploited."
https://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/31/mac.os.x.a.growing.target/

“Apple users, your days of worry-free web surfing could be numbers. A Mac internet security and privacy software maker has discovered what is believed to be the first professionally crafted in-the-wild malware targeting the Mac Operating system.”

A new Trojan attack has been linked with illegal copies of iWork ’09
https://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/trojan.linked.with.iwork/

Following the discovery of a trojan linked with copies of iWork ’09, the security firm says it has now found a variant, attached to pirated versions of Photoshop CS4.

Malware On Mac OS X – Viruses, Trojans, and Worms
A white paper on the history and future of malware and how it can affect the Apple Mac OS X platform.
https://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=174

Traditional virus protection works by keeping a list of known malware and then scanning your hard drive for files that are known to be the same as the files in their list. Virus protection vendors who use this approach then create updates as often as possible for new viruses.

This approach means that the system can only find files that it knows about, it will not stop any new infection.

FileDefense is different – it uses an active defense approach.

SubRosaSoft.com Inc created FileDefense in 2007 and have been distributing it since then. The software keeps an eye on all the programs running on your computer to make sure that they are only touching the things they are supposed to.

If a new program is loaded onto your Mac and it tries to access files without your permission then FileDefense will stop that program and ask you if you trust this program.

Active defense means that your system is protected from new malware before the anti-virus companies have time to design a new update.

“Spyware on my Mac?” A ZOT Interview with MacScan.

Why did you develop MacScan?

MacScan was initially created as we saw a void in the Macintosh security market for programs that focused on user privacy and security. By offering a detection program for spyware such as keystroke loggers, trojan horses, dialer applications and backdoors, we here at SecureMac work hard to ensure users stay protected against the latest threats to their Macs.

Does Spyware/Malware Exist for the Mac?
The truth is that Macs running OS X are susceptible to spyware and malware, just like any operating system is. Spyware is any piece of software that can spy on the user, despite if it gets into the system automatically, or if it is manually installed. MacScan exists to address spyware, malware, and privacy concerns on the Mac, and it was first developed back when there was a rise in spyware being created for OS X so as to be a proactive approach to security as well as a utility to help users remove the spyware infecting their systems.

The DNSChanger Trojan Horse has been the most widely reported piece of spyware for the Macintosh; once installed on a system, the user’s DNS servers are set to malicious servers sending all data through them. Web traffic being returned to the user are infested with ads injected in the webpages requested.

Does all Spyware for the Mac require administrative passwords?
No, just like any piece of software, the installation can be installed at the user level without the need for authentication or administrative permissions. Advanced spyware programs can take advantage of security holes to gain higher access or even wait until the user authenticates for another task and elevate its own permissions.

What types of spyware are most common on the Macintosh?
The single most common piece of spyware to affect OS X is the DNSChanger Trojan Horse, followed closely by keystroke logging programs, which can record everything you type on your computer, from websites you visit, to credit card numbers, or passwords for your business. Other trojan horses are also prevalent. Other forms of spyware include dialer applications that can use your phone line to dial long-distance numbers, commercial spyware sold by companies for businesses or households to spy on their users, and remote administration programs used maliciously.

How is MacScan unique from other Mac security apps?

MacScan has two very unique features to it. The first is the quick and simple malware detection for the Macintosh. The second is the ability to scan and remove Blacklisted Tracking Cookies without deleting all of the cookies stored on the computer, thus losing saved usernames or passwords. Both the spyware definition file and the tracking cookie blacklist file are updated frequently and are free.

As MacScan has evolved over the years its privacy features have grown as well. The internet clutter cleanup feature supports all major web browsers for fast cleaning of web files and surfing history.

Dejal Simon – Enterprise License
The essential site monitoring tool for Mac OS X.
Special Offer Below…

Normally: $195.00

ZOT Price: $95.00

ATTENTION WEBMASTERS: Monitor websites and servers for changes or failures

“…a feature-rich tool that’s ideal for Webmasters who need to monitor a variety of Internet services.”
– Matt Vance, Macworld

Dejal Simon is the essential site monitoring tool for Mac OS X. It checks servers for changes or failures, and notifies you via e-mail, sound, speech, or other means. You can use it to track updated sites, and to alert you when an important server goes down or recovers. Developed in Cocoa, it is a native Mac OS X application with an intuitive and attractive interface.

Simon is very versatile. It can be used to monitor your own website and servers, track your clients’ servers, communicate on arbitrary ports, run custom scripts for monitoring and notifications, and much more.

“Simon constantly monitors the content of critical pages and shows me the changes that have been made. Quality control is very important to me: usability, reliability, design, that’s what people pay me for! In Simon I also find those qualities — and this feels good to me. … Simon adds another reliable and highly customizable layer of control and feedback! I also appreciate the fast response when contacting Dejal. The developer knows what he’s talking about!”

- Holger Hubbs, web/print/information design, unimpossible.net

Central to Simon is the Monitor window. It enables you to see at a glance the current status of all of your monitored websites, servers, and applications. In addition to a colorful status icon and up-time percentage, the tests table displays how long ago the last change and failure occurred, and when the next check will occur. But that’s not all. This window also displays further statistics about the tests, and tables listing recent checks (including the check duration and a bar chart), changes (including the text that changed), failures (including the error description), and notifications (that can occur for changes, failures, and recoveries).

“I searched high and low for a product to monitor my server, and Simon was the only product that worked flawlessly. Simon is also great at monitoring changes on other sites; handy if you want to be the first to see new content on seldom updated pages.”

- Gord Lacey, Owner, TVShowsOnDVD.com

For more information and screenshots, please visit the Dejal Simon website.

The ZOT price is offered for the ENTERPRISE LICENSE of Simon which retails for $195.00. This allows an unlimited number of tests – perfect for webmasters and professionals. If you have more modest needs, check out the Basic or Standard licenses.

An interview with Voila Developers

What’s the most unique, useful feature of your product?

There are a lot of features unique in Voila in comparison to the other capturing tools on the Mac. We think the best amongst is the ability to have a free hand capture; since this really saves the user a lot of time and allows him to capture just the area he wants.

Why did you create this app? or What need were you trying to satisfy?

Our research diverted us to those users who were looking at a capture tool that would enable them to quickly explain things graphically and amplify it further by adding quick annotations on the Mac platform. Basically they were looking for a SnagIT counterpart on the Mac and we thought we had the potential and the bandwidth to come up with a capture and annotation tool that would surpass all the other capture tools in the market.

What is most interesting to you about developing SW for the Mac platform?

Mac is more about the User Interface and user appeal. Designing the user interface and logos on the Mac is always challenging and in my opinion one of the most interesting aspects as well.

What features should a prospective buyer look into during a trial of your product?

Some of the features that I think users would love to use in Voila are:
1. Free Hand Capture
2. Capture in different shapes
3. Callouts, Arrows, Lines, Shapes and Sprays from the Tools section
4. Edges, Skew and Filters from the Effects section.

What features would you like to add to your product that at this time seem improbable/impossible?

Well, there are a lot of these. Making Voila feature rich is our main objective and we have a lot of features lined up for the upcoming releases-the main ones being providing more ‘Share’ options and adding a few new tools. We need your opinion on making Voila compatible with Tiger OS.

What would you like a user to ask you?

"Do you have other products for my Mac and iPhone?", would be a good one. Yes, we have Web2 Delight – using which you can download and transfer your favorite videos and photos from internet to your iPods and iPhones. Read more details from our site Global Delight

What should I ask that I’m forgetting?

"Do we need Voila on Tiger OS?", would be perfect at this time. We need your opinion on making Voila compatible with Tiger OS. Voice your thoughts for this blog post.

About the Developer: Global Delight is a perfect blend of Mac aficionados, tech geeks, and right-brained technologies that aspire to create something exceptionally extraordinary. At Global Delight, we understand users and their desire to savor the experience of using their Macs for various Web 2.0 and media related software.
