Mac Wireshark alternatives [closed]

Do you know any good alternatives for wireshark (network analyzer) running on a Mac OS X 10.5+?

Wireshark is not that handy like on an Windows OS (user interface with X11, ...).

Any kind of help is appreciated.


A few options:

  • tcpdump
  • Cocoa Packet Analyzer
  • Packet Peeper
  • AirMagnet

Answer shamelessly cribbed from these other SU questions:

  • Is there a nice, graphical, packet sniffer for Mac OSX?
  • Can I do packet sniffing out of the box on OS X?
  • How can I sniff packets from an unsecured wireless network?
