You might want to get tcpflow. It has the same filtering capabilities as
tcpdump, but displays the packet contents. Works fine here on 10.0.4 (I
can send the binary to you if you don't want to compile it).
I think it's included with Interarchie.
I know this is getting a bit off topic, but after successfully building
tcpflow on my system (it's worked since Mac OS X PB, I think) I discovered
it was only capturing TCP packets, not UDP ones. The tcpflow docs weren't
very helpful since they seemed to hint at being TCP only but had large
portions copied almost verbatim from the tcpdump docs, which discuss UDP
as well.
I'm hacking together a protocol independent instant messaging and presence
framework (with a service provider interface for protocol plug-ins -- I
love NSBundle!) and this would be incredibly useful for debugging purposes.
Has anyone made tcpflow show UDP packets, or found a similar utility with
that capability?
Cheers,
