Ethernet Packet Sniffer

An Ethernet packet sniffer is a tool used to monitor and analyze data traveling over a computer network. Think of it as a detective that listens to all the digital conversations flowing through the network cables or wireless connections. It captures the information packets—small units of data—allowing network administrators to troubleshoot problems, ensure security, or monitor performance. While it can provide detailed insights, it typically requires proper authorization to use responsibly, as it can also access sensitive information if misused.
