Definition

What is Packet Sniffing?

Packet Sniffing is a technique used to monitor and capture data packets as they travel across a network.

Packet sniffers might be used maliciously by attackers to intercept sensitive information like passwords, emails, or personal data. However, they can be employed by network administrators for legitimate purposes, such as diagnosing network issues, analyzing traffic, or ensuring compliance.
