If you are having oddball network problems or trying to find out if a machine is getting an answer back for an arp request, and such, sniffing can occasionally help you out. Oh, in some cases you can sniff passwords for unecrypted services on your local segment.

Posted: 11/15/2002 6:59:38 AM Saying that only criminals use sniffers is completely false. Do criminals use them? Sure. But so do network engineers with valid reasons, none of which break the law.

Let's see....using a sniffer is not a common exercise, and although criminals and hackers may occasionally do so, that's probably not their most common usage. Perhaps you'd consider securing your network a bit so you don't need to worry about folks sniffing it.

Posted: 11/21/2002 10:37:02 PM I'm a mathematics major working part-time as tech support. Hacker-in-training(in the Eric Raymond problem-solver notion - it goes well with my math inclinations - not the 2600 script kiddie notion). Fool around with Win2k/XP at work(i.e. for pay), go home(or to the lab) and mess with *nix for work(educational)/fun. Trying to assimilate as much as I can in the wee hours of the morning.
