I’m using Mac OS X 10.4.7 and installed the X11 and XCode from the Tiger installation disc. So, I decided to try ethereal with Fink Project and this is how I did it.Įthereal is a GUI application that requires some flavor of X11 on your Mac and Fink will need the developer tools to compile some packages from source. DarwinPorts was written from scratch to try a different approach to a packaging system, where as Fink Project utilizes robust package management tools dpkg and apt-get from Debian Linux Project. They just differ in the packaging approach they’ve taken.
So, after Googling a while and reading the FAQs, I found that the number one goal of both projects were to port open source Linux/Unix softwares to Mac OS X. I was not sure what they meant or which one was better. But, was confused with the choice I had to make between Fink Project and DarwinPorts.

I was happy to see Ethereal for Mac OS X listed at the top of the download page. It has all of the standard features of a protocol analyzer. Ethereal is a free and open source packet sniffer application, used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and education. I use it sometimes and it’s a gem without which it would be very difficult to solve some network problems. But today I realized, I’d overlooked ethereal. With perfect password manager, I thought I had the complete set of tools in my Mac for getting things done.
