<b>ipfw</b> is the tool for configuring the built-in-but-not-used firewall in OS X. I thought I'd start my rule sets by blocking all traffic and then allowing only what I wanted.
<b>Don't do this:</b>
That effectively stopped all IP traffic including (I don't know why) any future ipfw commands.
Fortunately I just forced a reboot (oh, yes, logging out was messed up too) which wiped the rules. Whooh!
In other news, I see there are two firewall programs out there: Brickhouse and Firewalk X. They're both kinda interesting, but I'm still writing another. I want to be able to manipulate the rules through a sort of table view that I can rearrange.

Code:
