| Description: |
Packet sniffing is a technique of monitoring network traffic. It is
effective on both switched and non-switched networks. This paper discusses
several methods that result in packet sniffing on Layer 2 switched
networks. Each of the sniffing methods will be explained in detail.
The purpose of the paper is to show how sniffing can be accomplished
on switched networks, and to understand how it can be prevented.
