About:
BlockBlock is a real-time monitoring tool that watches common persistence locations on macOS to detect and block unauthorized modifications. It alerts users when malware attempts to install persistence mechanisms like launch agents or cron jobs. This provides an essential layer of defense against sophisticated threats that survive reboots.
