Point and Click Network Data

PacketStream provides a user-friendly GUI for tcpdump, a command-line network monitoring tool included in Mac OS X. By pointing and clicking, you can monitor data as it streams over your network–especially useful for checking web traffic, network bottlenecks, or even suspicious network activity. PacketStream offers a simple way to configure and use the Mac’s network monitoring tools, far easier than typing in cryptic commands in Terminal. Among freeware and commercial software options, there isn’t an easier way to monitor your network than PacketStream!

Why PacketStream’s Better

Simple to use: Set a couple of user preferences, click a button, and
go. No need to type in long command-strings in Terminal.

Save network data to a file or print for later analysis.

Monitor traffic on specific network ports.

Thorough user documentation via the "Help" menu.

AppleScript and Services support.

Keychain integration: Run network scan without repeatedly typing in your password.

No need to build mulitple network monitoring libraries and non-Mac-native GUI’s from source code.

    Ran this on a MacBook, Intel Core 2 Duo, 10.6.2. Did not do anything but appear to suck up resources. App was barely responsive. No feedback, did not see any signs of monitoring. Trashed.
