Is it possible to check whether a Mac is running keylogging software? [closed]

I'm concerned that a program installed on my Mac (LittleSnitch) may be logging keystrokes and transmitting them to a remote host.

Fire up WireShark and look for unusual network traffic periodically. Most keyloggers don't transmit logged keys on every keypress, negotiating all of those connections wouldn't be the best idea. Instead, keylogging software usually logs to a file for a specified amount of time or until the logfile reaches a certain size.
