I'm looking for a packet sniffer app that runs on MacOS in a GUI (I know I can accomplish some functionality with native CLI utilities like tcpdump).



Previously I used Packet Peeper, however it doesn't seem to run in MacOS 10.14 Mojave (the application opens and seems to run, but no window appears).



* Other questions have also mentioned PP as the solution, but they're all fairly old.

          You probably are looking for Wireshark

            1 - Wireshark



            If you have brew installed it's trivial to install Wireshark via a Cask.



            $ brew cask install wireshark


            This will install both the GUI and CLI versions. The GUI version is called wireshark and should show up in Launcher. The CLI version should show up in your $PATH as tshark.



            GUI



            Invoking the GUI will show you a selection window from where you can select which network interface to analyze. NOTE: on my system we'll use en0.



            ss



            A double click on en0 and you're in selecting packet data.



            ss



            CLI



            To use the CLI it's about as difficult.



            $ tshark -i en0 | head
            Capturing on 'Wi-Fi: en0'
            137 1 0.000000 192.168.1.95 → 172.217.6.42 UDP 65 56557 → 443 Len=23

            3 0.118526 172.217.6.42 → 192.168.1.95 UDP 70 443 → 56557 Len=20

            280 tshark: An error occurred while printing packets: Broken pipe.


            NOTE: Wireshark has excellent tutorials and guides on line once you're past the install.



            2 - tcpdump



            If you want something even lighter, you can use tcpdump to capture all types of traffic, not just TCP.



            $ tcpdump -i en0 -n | head
            tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
            listening on en0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

            tcpdump: Unable to write output: Broken pipe

                        If you want something even lighter, you can use tcpdump to capture all types of traffic, not just TCP.

                        tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

                          1 - Wireshark



                          If you have brew installed it's trivial to install Wireshark via a Cask.



                          $ brew cask install wireshark


                          This will install both the GUI and CLI versions. The GUI version is called wireshark and should show up in Launcher. The CLI version should show up in your $PATH as tshark.



                          GUI



                          Invoking the GUI will show you a selection window from where you can select which network interface to analyze. NOTE: on my system we'll use en0.



                          ss



                          A double click on en0 and you're in selecting packet data.



                          ss



                          CLI



                          To use the CLI it's about as difficult.



                          $ tshark -i en0 | head
