What Is Net Sniffing

[Ossi]

I have heard about the packet sniffing and network sniffing all the other things but have never heard about the Net Sniffing. I have been making the use of the files that are basically used for the finding of the files that are present in the internet. Also I have heard that important data are also being traveled down through the internet that can be viewed and also the details of the important files can also be got through the packet sniffing. Please tell me what is the net sniffing and also why it is being used.

Network Sniffing is what we called as the Net Sniffing, and also if we determine it in the terms of the general term that can be used for the analyzing of the data that are being send and also the files that are being received and all this data are being send in the format of the packets while this packets are being for the getting for personal files of the peoples that are being used for the net transfer.

Basically this network sniffing is carried out in the area of the LAN and not in the small LAN but in the area where there are huge LAN’s being installed for the purpose of the big companies that are transmitting all the data between themselves and between the companies that are present in the overseas. All the data are being transferred out through the desired network and not through any other network.

In the Net sniffing all the networks are being sniffed out which will lead to take all the files that is being transmitted through the use of the internet and also through the use of the server. As it is that all the data are being send through the form of the data packets that are being easily accessible and so the data in that can also read out easily. Only thorough the net sniffing all the data can read which are being transferred through the net.

All this data when they are being sniffed it is not that they are really sniffed but they are being read down properly and all the data that are being send is being read by the unwanted peoples that leads to the security threats. But in this network sniffing the whole network is being sniffed out which may contain multiple of the packets, or more of the group of the packets are being sniffed out.
