Download Cocoa Packet Analyzer 0.50 beta

Cocoa Packet Analyzer is able to capture, parse and analyze network traffic. In addition, it can handle stored network traffic pcap files. For more information, we refer you to this page where you can find, among other things, a list of protocols that are recognised. As the name suggests, the program is written in cocoa for a Mac OS X environment. Jens Francke is busy developing Cocoa Packet Analyzer and recently released beta version 0.50. The corresponding list of changes looks like this:

Version 0.50:

• MAC-resolution defaults are live updating packet view now.
• DNS resolution defaults are live updating packet view now.
• IP-Analyzer will display hostname and IP if in DNS-resolve-mode.
• added general preferences (replacing “analysis” preferences”).
• moved IP,TCP,UDP,ICMP,IGMP to own analyzer plugins.
• fixes some PPP protocol short names.
