RansomWhere

objective-see

A general-purpose ransomware detector. It watches for file encryption behaviour and blocks and prompts when a process starts encrypting files in bulk, working without signatures so unknown ransomware is covered too. It suits people who want an extra layer of protection for important files.

LuLu

KnockKnock

objective-see

Like AutoRuns, but for macOS. It lists everything that starts automatically, stays resident or runs on a schedule — login items, launch agents, kernel extensions, browser plugins — with signing and origin details, so you can see what is running on its own. It suits investigating unexpected startup items and security audits.

DylibHijackScanner

objective-see

Scans the computer for apps vulnerable to dylib hijacking or already hijacked. It inspects how apps load dynamic libraries for paths that could be substituted, listing risky entries and confirmed hits, which suits security self-checks or investigating a suspected malicious library.

FreeMac

BlockBlock

objective-see

Provides ongoing protection by watching persistence locations. When something tries to install itself as a login item or background component, it asks whether to allow it, which helps surface persistence planted silently. It suits people who want to know if their system is being modified behind their back.
