Packet sniffing allows network administrators to monitor and analyze network traffic, helping to identify performance issues and detect unauthorized access or malicious activity. It aids in troubleshooting connectivity problems by providing insights into data flow and packet loss. Additionally, packet sniffing can enhance security by allowing for the detection of vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with network policies. Ultimately, it serves as a valuable tool for maintaining an efficient and secure network environment.

What are the Ethics and legality of packet sniffing?
Packet sniffing as a legal activity is usually defined by the corporate or company policy. Most institutions will ban the activity unless your job role requires it. Outside of a company network there is usually no restriction on packet capturing/sniffing. Packet sniffing is also done by certain types of programs, such as IDS or IPS devices/systems.
How does the use of a networking switch minimize problems with packet sniffing in a LAN?
In a LAN, the use of a networking switch can minimize problems with packet sniffing by implementing IPsec at layer 3which encrypts transmissions across the network link. (These damn ITT tech questions can be a pain sometimes, eh?)
What are the advantages of packet foods?
The advantages of packet food are the fact they stay fresh longer. Also they can be easily transported to wherever you need to go.
What is packet-sniffing?
Packet sniffing is usually sniffs wireless transmissions. Sniffing is the interception of data or packets. The person who is suppose to receive the information still does but a third party has the ability to eavesdrop read the data. Packets can range from harmless info like your latest homework assignment or other more sensitive information like your Bank statement. The method to avoid a person sniffing your data sent wirelessly is to encrypt the data with modern day encryption algorithms.
Difference between packet sniffing and packet spoofing?
Passive wiretapping, usually on a local area network, to gain knowledge of passwords. Attempt by an unauthorized entity to gain access to a system by posing as an authorized user is spoofing
Why packet switching method is used for digital data communication between computers?
Packet switching has two advantages: (1) If something goes wrong, only a small piece of data (the packet) has to be resent. (2) Packet switching allows multiplexing - several communications happening at once.Packet switching has two advantages: (1) If something goes wrong, only a small piece of data (the packet) has to be resent.

How Do people get caught buying drugs on the internet?
If you think the NSA is not fully capable of sniffing every single internet packet for interesting words like "drugs", then you're delusional.
What are the Advantages of stateful inspection?
It will protect your computer from Malicious programs,hackers .since it will keep an eye on each packet that is moving through the network.It will check the header of the packet,if it is reliable it allow the packet to pass. with love swaroop
What is promiscuous mode in Ethereal?
For a message to send out, it has to address which Mac address to send. If the message I received doesn't not match with my MAC address then my network interface will drop the packet completely. If your network is on promiscuous mode, then your network interface will not drop the message. It is good for packet sniffing. I hope this helps.
What are the advantages anddisadvantages of token ring topology?
Advantage: No packet collisions Disadvantage: Single point of failure
Does sniffing tissue count as a drug?
no sniffing tissue is harmless
If you are on an internet network can you be watched?
It is possible to "sniff" packets off any network - this could potentially allow a hacker to read communications over the network. Generally, using a secure connection (HTTPS) will prevent packet-sniffing, however.
