Comment on A New Malware Detection Tool That Can Expose Illegitimate State Surveillance

Comments

What I really would like to see in this area is something like an open source LittleSnitch that gets rules from a DHT, where you choose who to trust and everyone using such software publishes their trust list with the certificates they know to be good. For example, I would trust rules published by orgs like OpenBSD, Mozilla and the EFF.

Is there any FOSS equivalent to Little Snitch?

Obviously there are issues that need to be addressed further, but some system where people collectively share who is trustworthy and who is not would be valuable.

It would be something like http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm but for more than just ads.
