Enable the Mac Firewall in OS X Mountain Lion

macos - OSX Lion, open a local port so people on my network can access it - Super User

OK this article is sort of silly and will be fairly short and to the point but earlier I was trying to find the process name of the OSX Lion firewall. During the process of looking for the OSX Lion firewall process name I learned a bunch of little firewall tidbits such as there are a ton of settings you can set from the command line, there are third party OSX Lion Firewall GUI configuration tools, and there are complete third party firewalls available for install on OSX Lion. The firewall that comes installed with OSX Lion runs under the process name of socketfilterfw as shown in the Activity Monitor example image below.

As you can see in the above image the socketfilterfw process runs as the root user. While I explain how to see the available socketfilterfw command line configuration settings below there are some great articles available regarding numerous other socketfilterfw CLI options and can be easily located with a quick Google search.
