NetMine firewall software

ProteMac has released new firewall software for the Mac, NetMine. The application is designed to intercept network traffic from every application, and can help protect computers from viruses, malware, Trojans, ping floods, port scans, privacy intrusion and simple unauthorized program activity. NetMine uses a two-way firewall to monitor and analyze threats, while providing users with detailed information on all incoming and outgoing flows. The program can also block browser threats to protect against infected websites.

The software moreover attempts to detect sophisticated hacking techniques, and make use of auto-learning and automatic configuration modes to set up rules for programs and monitored connections. Most programs have rules applied without intervention, saving time on granting permissions. NetMine is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, and priced at $30.
