A simple solution is to create an Airplane Mode for your Mac. Here is how to do this:

• go into Network in System Preferences
• click on Location dropdown menu
• click on plus icon to add a new location
• name the new location 'Airplane Mode' or similar, and click 'Done'
• select the location you just created from the Location dropdown menu
• click on each available network interface in the list at the left of the window in turn, disabling each one
• click on the Configure iPv4 menu, and choose Off
• for Wi-Fi, just click on the Turn Wi-Fi Off button
• click Apply, and this location will block all network activity

When you want to turn networking back on, just select Automatic from the Location dropdown menu, and click Apply
