As a network security manager I know how to use a packet sniffer, and have used them, but usually do not have any need. They are fairly easy to use.

My cousin works for a school corporation (taking care of their computer systems) in an adjoining county. He said some computer security person uses a sniffer to do something there. My cousin is a big fan of conspiracy theories, and claims that after using certain words in an e-mail or phone call (I can't remember which) he had an all black helicopter hover behind his house. He ran to get his digital camera. He said when he turned it on, the copter took off like a bat out of hell. His theory is that the auto focus on the camera works like a missle targeting system and that the pilot picked up on it and retreated. I just smiled when told this.

You and your "BTW-WARNING 1 more post about McUZI.com, and bat things happen to your computer via e-mail" friends have the upperhand now. |

Richard Pryor said "I don't do coke, I just like the smell of it". Is that a sniffer?

Bottom line, be careful what you post on the internet. Sometimes paranoia is a good thing.

I use a program called Observer to snif. It's basically pointless to snif all Internet traffic - there are billions of bytes a second and you'd need serveral T3 lines and hundreds of servers ... sounds like the NSA eh?
On a small network with 100 users I can see each "conversation", capture packets between them and view them packet at a time. I had problems with the LAN slowing down at 8:00 AM when everyone logged on but then again at 2:30-4:00. Started sniffing and saw four or five huge "conversations" going on. Walking quitely by their cubicals found the problem - network games. |
