,You suspect that someone is capturing the data sent on your network. You want to capture data
to ensure that it is encrypted and cannot be read by intruders. Which of the following network
utilities can both intruders and administrators use to capture network traffic?
Port scanner
Packet filter
Data watcher
Packet sniffer
Correct Answer
A. Packet sniffer
Explanation
Both administrators and hackers use packet sniffers on networks to capture network data. They
are either a hardware device or software and eavesdrop on network transmissions that are
traveling throughout the network. The packet sniffer quietly captures data and saves it to be
reviewed later. Answer A is incorrect because port scanners monitor traffic into and out of ports
such as those connected to a switch. Answers B and C are not valid traffic-monitoring
technologies.
