[QUOTE="bboggess, post: 1676611, member: 221378"] Packet sniffing on any network, wireless or wired, that you are legally in direct control of is indeed legal and ethical. The software is utilized by network engineers all of the time. Sniffing public networks is questionable at best. Google got into serious trouble over their wifi sniffing of public and private networks. I do know they asked the Supreme Court to review the case but I just can't remember the final outcome. Personally, I use a packet sniffer on my own network and have used it professionally before retiring. If you don't know what a packet is, perhaps google basic network training as it is the primary method that data is transmitted over a network. An in depth discussion of networking principles is just too much for a forum discussion. Bill [/QUOTE]
