Daemon Dancing in the Dark: More "sniffing" tools

August 13, 2004

The TaoSecurity post also led me to a few other programs having to do with network hacking and sniffing.

Port description for net-mgmt/driftnet : this one will poll for traffic and put together any images and movies that are sent along.
Port description for net-mgmt/bsd-airtools : this one includes wireless sniffing tools, esp. dstumbler, which tells you all about wireless networks around you.
Port description for security/nmap : this is I've seen talk about on some Windows blogs, as WinXP SP2 breaks it, due to some draconian socket "security" limits it implements. It is a "network exploration" tool, that helps with security auditing.
