Network Analyzing Tools

[sien0001]

Hello,

I was wandering if anyone knows of any good, free, network analyzing tools for MacOS X. I am looking for something equivelant to NetworkView for Windows. A utility that will seek out all the devices on the network and display indepth information concerning them.

Thank you.

Thank you. That is a very good site, certainly contained several intersting applications.

What are you trying to do? You already have the best tools right there.
I you want to snif use tcpdump.
There is traceroute, ping , nmap, etc.
I dunno if there is a mac version of iptraf, that is a must!

Ethereal is fantastic, downloaded it via Fink, it's an X11 app, but works great.

Oh yeah, Ethereal is the GUI for tcpdump, It is an analizer for your sniffer readouts.

Ettercap is worth checking out too. Requires a bit more effort to figure out, but its a very effective traffic analyser.
