What is the Mac equivalent of TCPView or CurrPorts? I've never used Mac before, so I'm clueless.

both netstat and lsof will do this:

$ netstat -an | grep -i "listen"
tcp4       0      0  *.88                   *.*                    LISTEN

tcp6       0      0  ::1.631                *.*                    LISTEN

If you're command-line averse, you can also just port scan yourself (run Network Utility, go to the Port Scan tab, type in localhost and hit "Scan").

You can use the command line tool netstat to get that information.

How do you get netstat to show the number circled in red in my screenshot above? – JoJo Oct 11 '10 at 20:44
If I understand the CurrPorts display, that's the remote TCP port number; netstat -an would show it something like this: tcp4 0 0 172.0.0.1.56665 127.0.0.1.56664 ESTABLISHED – Gordon Davisson Oct 11 '10 at 21:01
