Publisher's Description
From Objective Development:
A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out? Little Snitch does!
Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.
What's new in this version:
- New preference option to enable reverse DNS lookups in Network Monitor.
- Improved performance.
- Improved Installer application (more robust in non-standard environments).
- Improved compatibility with older PowerPC machines running Mac OS X 10.4.11.
- Fixes an issue with the "Confirm with Return and Escape" preference option.
- Fixes an issue that could cause a kernel panic on machines with 64-bit kernel.

"Peace of mind for the security conscious."
Version: Little Snitch 2.3.4
Pros
You will find out if someone is trying to talk to the network covertly. Since that's the main point of malware nowadays, if any of that crops up on the Mac then you'll probably know.
Cons
Quite a lot of effort to set up initially.
Summary
If you've found Little Snitch because you're looking for this sort of tool then grab it - it's well implemented, occupying a minuscule amount of system resources, and seems to catch things reliably.
