Sniffing is the process of monitoring and capturing all data packets that are passing through a computer network using packet sniffers. Packets sniffers are used by networks administrator to keep track of data traffic passing through their networks. These are called network protocol analyzers.

These are differnt types of sniffers tools used and they include :-

Wireshark
Ettercap
BetterCAP
Tcpdump
WinDump etc

There are two type of sniffing:-

Active Sniffing
Passive Sniffing

1. Active Sniffing:- Active Sniffing is conducted on a switched networks. A switch is a device that connect two network device together. Switch use to the media access control (MAC) address to forward information to their intended destination port.

2. Passive Sniffing:- Passive sniffing uses hubs insted of Switches. hub performed the same way as switches only that they do use MAC address to read the destination port of data.
