Turn on Firewall Logging
Firewall logging must be enabled. This ensures that malicious network activity will be logged to the system. This requirement is NA if HBSS is used.
Parameter:
[On/Off]
Technical Mechanism:
To check if the OS X firewall has logging enabled, run the following command:
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getloggingmode | grep on
If the result does not show 'on', this is a finding.
