Well... tcpdump is native on OSX and that will capture the traffic.
You'd want something a bit more suited for looking at it however.
As far as native apps goes, Wild Packets makes EtherPeek. I think
they've discontinued OS X support, but you could pick it up at a
steal b/c of that.
Otherwise I keep a Fink .dmg on my drive with ethereal on it and
just use that.
I think most any other "mac" apps would probably be based on Fink.
iChat reports unencrypted information going through with a warning
dialogue, however, Google tells me that it IS encrypted and it's a
bug
with iChat.
iChat is complaining that the password itself is in cleartext,
which it is, it just happens to be wrapped in an SSL connection.
Making the unencrypted bit mostly moot.
Technically both iChat and Google could be considered correct in
what they are saying.
We were
running our own iChat servers, but the jabber implementation is
really
giving us problems. It often spawns off endless loops and causes a
forced shutdown of the process. It also does not remove the XML
related
data in the jabber databases when accounts are removed. So, if
someone
is on my contact list, and they are no longer a user, iChat server
still
lets me believe they are on the system.
If you plan on doing a lot with this, and you don't trust Google
not to store this, I'd suggest just building jabberd 2.0 on OSX.
The iChat server is a bit toned down, not to mention jabberd 1.x,
and simplified from what a jabber server really can do. Frankly I'm
a bit surprised that we haven't seen a stand alone version of 2.0
released as an OS X package already.
