Wireshark is one of the world's foremost network protocol analyzers, and is the standard in many parts of the industry. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998. Hundreds of developers around the world have contributed to it, and it it still under active development.
Wireshark has a rich feature set which includes the following:

- Multi-interface: Along with a standard GUI, Wireshark includes TShark, a text-mode analyzer which is useful for remote capture, analysis, and scripting
- The most powerful display filters in the industry
- VoIP analysis
- Live capture and offline analysis are supported
- Read/write many different capture file formats: tcpdump (libpcap), NAI's Sniffer™ (compressed and uncompressed), Sniffer™ Pro, NetXray™, Sun snoop and atmsnoop, Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor, AIX's iptrace, Microsoft's Network Monitor, Novell's LANalyzer, RADCOM's WAN/LAN Analyzer, HP-UX nettl, i4btrace from the ISDN4BSD project, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, the pppd log (pppdump-format), the AG Group's/WildPacket's EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek, Visual Networks' Visual UpTime and many others
- Capture files compressed with gzip can be decompressed on the fly
- Hundreds of protocols are supported, with more being added all the time
- Coloring rules can be applied to the packet list, which eases analysis

4. You will probably need to adjust the permissions of /dev/bpf* in order to capture. You can do this by hand or by dragging the ChmodBPF folder onto the StartupItems alias.
I tried the second method (startupitems) and rebooted, but received an alert that I lacked required permissions to perform the chmods. After manually running the chgrp/chmod with sudo, WireShark ran just fine.
So I'm not sure what they had in mind by putting the ChmodBPF folder into /Library/StartupItems. My default login has Mac OS X Administrative privileges. Will I need to reissue those chgrp/chmod commands next time I reboot?

This is more for people trying to check network security and administrate networks than anything else so I can't see it being that popular mainstream anyway X11 or not.
Most of us who use it know about X11 and Linux/Unix anyway and probably should/do have it on a Linux box anyway but we love OSX so we try to put it here too. The lack of comments for this tells you mostly it is run on Linux and Win not OSX.
I can't find an app as good native to OSX but maybe there is one? But it is a wonderful project and application that really helps secure/admin networks.

Maybe it's not as powerful as WireShark, but it's a good piece of software :
