PacketStream
Current Version: 3.3 (May 26, 2010)
From the PacketStream home page: "PacketStream provides point-and-click activation of the Mac's built-in network monitoring program, which is usually available only from the command line. By clicking a few buttons, you can monitor data as it streams over your network--especially useful for checking web traffic, network bottlenecks, or even suspicious network activity. All network data is displayed in the application itself, and you can save the data to a file for further analysis later."
Version 3.3 adds/changes the following:
- Now supports AppleScript and Services.
- Status icon changes during network scan.
- Now supports Keychain integration for password.
- Improved status messages in the main window.
- Can now show contents of packet data in main window.
The download is a 30-day demo; you can purchase a license to use the program past the 30-day trial period. Mac OS X 10.4 is the minimum supported platform.

These are applications that are newer and of potential interest, but which I haven't yet selected for permanent inclusion. Have a look, and let me know if you think they deserve to be part of the permanent collection!
