In my experience it's relatively simple to cut the head off such code and wire it up to a launchd-based listening socket. The advantage of that approach is that you get launch on demand support. > I would assume that once the app has been allowed with the firewall, the > system could calculate the binary's hash/checksum, so the next time the > firewall wants to pop up an alert, it would recalculate the checksum and > compare the result with what it has in its database already, check whether > the checksum (and therefore the binary) has changed since or not, and based > on that pop up an alert or just allow/block the connection. Back in the days things worked that way for the firewall, and I believe things still work that way for the keychain. However, code signing has become sufficiently widespread on OS X that I wouldn't be surprised if the legacy support has fallen by the wayside.
