Cocoa Packet Analyzer CommentaryNasty Bug - Version: 0.47, 3/25/2008 11:36AM PST

derekcurrie
As soon as I setup CPA to start a capture, it locked up my connection to my AirPort Extreme Base Station N via WiFi. I did the usual stuff to troubleshoot the router and my MacBook (with 10.4.11) and found the sole culprit was CPA. As soon as I quit the app everything worked fine. Note that I was able to connect to other WiFi routers (silly humans!) but not to mine! WTF? Sorry if this is a 'feature' but this newbie was not impressed.

As for starting up and the GUI: They are working fine in this version. You can choose what 'interface' you want to use in the Preferences.

Next beta please!

I'm not aware of how the app used to behave in prior versions, but 0.43 won't even launch correctly, stating: "The Sniffer-Daemon seems to be compromised! You should re-install CocoaPacketAnalyzer!"

Cocoa Packet Analyzer CommentaryNo Cocca - Version: 0.41, 7/17/2007 09:03AM PST

I opened this little guy and no UI?

Does it capture packets or just display them (do I need to use ethereal or other to actually grab the packets)?
