- shaun1018, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25bah, its already out the window. I have apps that allow me to sniff wifi traffic. I have seen emails, im conversations, people downloading porn, using bittorrent (more porn) funny thing was this was all from a community college's traffic in less than an hour of collecting. : ) while its hard but not impossible to tell who some one is by what they are doing its just not practical, but it is a lot of fun to see whats going on around you.
Just on Friday it was just me and one other kid in the wifi area of the lounge. I saw that someone was looking at imdb.com and was looking at a couple movies. Being the only other person up there and recognizing that he was in my Film class last semester I yell, "Yeah that movie was great!" He looked really freaked out for a while. muhahaha - pauldonnelly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Talk about smashing the illusion of privacy.
- Scruffydan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20There is no privacy when sending stuff over UNENCRYPTED wireless connections!
All the more reason to encrypt your wifi connection - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22It's going on to your computer screen, not out the window! ;)
- soupyc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Then its friggin hillarious!
- Scruffydan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Swiched networks are NOT safe
ARP poisoning will let you see ALL traffic on a switch just as easily as on a network.

- TaeBoX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7From the README: Driftnet is at a very early stage of development and probably won't work for you at all.
All that aside, packet sniffing is not new. - donatj, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8This needs to be ported to windows...
- marcan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Non-encrypted connections, no privacy.
I once did an ARP Spoof attack on the local college dorm net here. Fun to watch ALL traffic from the building go through my PC. IMs, browsing, porn, etc. I didn't look deeply into it or use it for anything, nor did I do it again, but it just proves that not even a switched network provides decent privacy. - Adoozie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5AFAIK it's not possible to see the other traffic on a switched network unless you're running a traffic analysis program on the router/switch itself, or you've fooled a computer on the network into sending their data to you.

Yep a trojan and a downloader - huntr2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's nothing new, This data has been availiable forever, it's unencrypted ethernet traffic. If you run this in a hotel on their network you'll likely pick up a lot of things as they genrally use hubs rather than switches which means all of the traffic is broadcasted to everyone. Cain and Abel is a lot more dangerous than this app and has been around for ages.
If you are serious about security you will be using a NAT router to start with and encrypting any important traffic. - kimos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4www.etherpeg.org

www.etherwatch.com - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I hope the AAs don't hear about this. ;-)
- epheterson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Think I'll get a windows binary?
I can imagine seeing a lot of X-Rated images using this program.. - Vinvin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Or how about this: http://chatsniff.sourceforge.net/
Not that I Digged it, it's not like it's news anyway ;) - EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4The next best thing is here:
http://www.rostudent.com/robert/VLADescu.html
It doesn't show the images visually, but saves them in tabulated format on an HTML page. You can refresh the page and it'll keep updating with the new files sniffed. It works on Windows. - stonecipher, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Anyone else getting the warning about Exploit-WMF from the VLADescu page?
- TechnoGuyRob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4The internet is really, really great...
- EricTheGrey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Talk about privacy going out the window."
It doesn't run on windows. Linux only apparently...

That's what I figure as well, since the whole point of a switch is to not send all the packets to everyone. - pauldonnelly, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3This isn't only for wireless networks by the way. Anyone whose packets are drifting by can be spied on. If you and another computer are connected to an ethernet hub, then you should see what they see. On the other hand, you likely won't be able to see what people who are merely connected to the same multi-port router are looking at. Probably ditto for switches, but I haven't tested any of those.
- zetsurin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2scary. stick to https and vpn's people. some nerds have nothing better to do than go through your garbage.
- Bob_Oliver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ettercap is better.
- jakee246, on 12/07/2008, -0/+0Web hosting that is offshore.
http://www,borderfreehosting.com - monkeymad2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Anyone Re-compiled etherpeg it for Airport?
- kendals, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This thing is terrible to compile! Half of the required libs don't even compile themselves! :(
Why post this when it's nowhere NEAR usable for 99% of Digg users? Should also put 'Ubuntu' in the title. I hear that helps bring in the diggs ;) - loserpunk603, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Etherwatch didn't work for may anyone know any other good progs that do this on windows?
- uzurpatorul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0VLADescu is based on Driftnet, it is also true that site was hacked and some Trojan was added. I just cleaned the html file and removed the malicious content, for now ;-).
Cheers,

http://www.trafficdigger.com/user/ronmat.html - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Didn't work for me either.. hmmm..
- aus1616, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0You want to try something new a great
try www.protexx.com written with open source it is great. - chadu, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1would like to see someone build this for OSX!
- maseone, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2OMG call the police! No call the feds! AAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
jk.
nice implementation of a well renouned pastime..err. - TheReport, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2...
- timetrap, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3digg really is kind of a wierd place. News that is like a year old, shows up like new news . . . well at least I know I don't have to remember anything, I just look for it on the frontpage of digg.
Seriously though, it's a cool program, great for those LAN parties :-)
