This is a simple guide about how you can open multiple Wireshark windows at once on Mac OSX. It’s very common to want to open two PCAP files and compare them. To open as many Wireshark windows as you want follow these steps!

1. Open a terminal using Spotlight or Finder.

   For finder, open it and go inside the Applications folder, and then go to the Utilities folder and double click on Terminal. For Spotlight, open spotlight (Command+space), search for Terminal and press Enter.

2. Once you have a terminal window open, you can  type or paste in the text below and press enter!

open -na Wireshark

You can keep re-entering this command as many times as you’d like to keep opening more windows of Wireshark
