In a way yes, You will have to get information somehow to the sniffer's network interface. It is possible to define network devices to forward network traffic to some interface for this purpose. And you can also fool network components by for instance arp table poisoning to send traffic to sniffer.
There are also distributed sniffer solutions which have multiple devices connected to different segments just for capturing traffic and this way you can get information to centralized database from remote segments. rgds, Harri -----Original Message----- From: ext Bruno Negr�o [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 January, 2002 14:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Can sniffers act in remote networks? Hy all, Could someone tell me if sniffers can hear remote connections? In my conception, sniffers just can hear the traffic where they are directly connected. Is it right?
