Cocoa Packet Analyzer is a native Mac OS X implementation of a network protocol analyzer and packet sniffer similar to Wireshark(Windows).
The application allows you to make detailed analyzes of network traffic for debug and research tasks.
CPA supports the industry-standard PCAP packet capture format for reading, capturing and writing packet trace files.
It is also extendable through analyzer plugins, which can be created using Cocoa bundles technologies.

After starting CPA you get a simple clean interface that wont stand in your way.
You can capture network interfaces or load previously captures sessions.
Features
- Basic packet capturing (libPCAP/ tcpdump filter expressions can be used).
- Analyze, display and filter packet trace files.
- Supports PCAP packet capture format.
- Quicklook plugin included - it is basic but at least you can get an overview over packet trace files in finder.
- Intel 64-bit CPU support.

Looks like a solid app
Seems nice, gonna try it when i get the time
Coolio :3
cool :D
also, took me some time till i found where you hid the "follow" button here.
Ooooo, this is nifty, I'll have to get this.
Good stuff, strange name description.
Neat stuff man.
Hmm..
Not that I really understand all of this, but it looks really useful!
Cool
i think i've heard of this
All this stuff looks so complicated >_<
nice!
I didn't understand all of that but it must be useful!
nice looking app
I'm hungry now.
Something I'd never use, but i do appreciate when programs have organized layouts like this :)
This looks like an awesome packet analyzer. Thanks for sharing!
interesting app
I have no idea what I could use that for lol
Oh this is a fantastic app if you take the time to set it up.
cool!
Regards from Finland.
Read my blog too if you want..
looks very useful, thanks for posting it!
Cheers mate, I'll check it out
I see
does it also list the connections you have atm and allows you to shut them down? Like a "manual" firewall?
This goes way above my internet knowledge. I wouldnt understand what to do with this program.
Looks like another nice app. Just keep them coming.
I haven't used a packet sniffer/analyzer since I was taking Computer Networking Systems at a technical school. Good to know there's options like this on Mac.
another great program
Nice. Got any alternatives for aircrack, airsniff, etc?
The protocol support is pretty thorough!
Thats cool and seems useful.
Great blog btw, following (:

Very interesting app!
so much sniffing
Meh, I don't see much need for programs like this unless you're using your computer for something related.
i sniff packets all the time, not the computer kind though
Going to check wireshark! :)
Not a program I'd need, but I'm definitely liking the mac advice in general. Keep it up!
i could use this on my cisco courses.
