SockyNotifier

=============

Throw a macOS notification when connection attempts to servers on the local host are observed. Designed to work

directly with [Socky](https://github.com/PeterUpfold/Socky)

This is designed to provide some level of visibility into any activities on your system where local servers

running on Well-Known (and merely well-known, if you catch my drift) ports are being enumerated.

Inspired by the proof of concept of this demonstrated by https://wybiral.github.io/wtf/

**Note:** that this is not particularly serious or practical, but I wanted a project (Socky)

that let me work directly with the Core Foundation APIs in C, and this seemed a good opportunity. This is the Swift-based

recipient of the notification that Socky generates.

Installation

============

 * Install [Socky](https://github.com/PeterUpfold/Socky), as this component listens on the target ports and dispatches the notification.

 * Build and install `SockyNotifier.app` into `/Applications` or another appropriate path.

 * Copy `uk.org.upfold.SockyNotifier.plist` into `~/Library/LaunchAgents` to run on login (modify application path in plist if necessary).
