Sniffing technique

Sniffing refers to the practice of capturing and analyzing data packets that travel through a network. It allows individuals or systems to monitor and intercept information sent over the internet, such as emails, passwords, or other sensitive data. This technique can be used for legitimate purposes, like network troubleshooting and security analysis. However, it can also be exploited by malicious actors to steal personal information, leading to privacy breaches. To combat sniffing, encryption methods are often employed to secure data, making it difficult for unauthorized parties to understand intercepted information.
