📩 Sniffing
Sniffing is a technique used to monitor network traffic and gather information about the data being transmitted.
It can be used for various purposes, including network analysis, troubleshooting, and security assessments.
Active sniffing
Section titled “Active sniffing”Active sniffing is done by sending packets to the network to elicit responses from devices.
This can help identify devices, protocols, and services running on the network.
Passive sniffing
Section titled “Passive sniffing”Passive sniffing is done by monitoring network traffic without actively sending packets.
This can be done using network taps, port mirroring, or by using a network interface in promiscuous mode.
Wireshark
Section titled “Wireshark”Wireshark is a popular tool for passive sniffing and can capture and analyze network traffic.
tcp.port eq 25 or icmp
tcp.window_size == 0 && tcp.flags.reset != 1
http.request.uri matches "gl=se$"
udp contains 81:60:03Sniffing detection
Section titled “Sniffing detection”Sniffing can be detected by monitoring network traffic for unusual patterns or by using intrusion detection systems (IDS).
