PACKET SNIFFING AND ITS PROCESS

INTRODUCTION OF PACKET SNIFFING

• Packet sniffing is the practice of gathering, collecting, and logging some or

all packets that pass through a computer network, regardless of how the

packet is addressed. In this way, every packet, or a defined subset of

packets, may be gathered for further analysis. You as a network

administrators can use the collected data for a wide variety of purposes

like monitoring bandwidth and traffic.

• A packet sniffer, sometimes called a packet analyzer, is composed of two main parts.

First, a network adapter that connects the sniffer to the existing network. Second,

software that provides a way to log, see, or analyze the data collected by the device.

• A network is a collection of nodes, such as personal computers, servers, and

networking hardware that are connected. The network connection allows data to

be transferred between these devices. The connections can be physical with cables,

or wireless with radio signals.
