In this chapter, we discussed the benefits of sniffing and analyzing packets on a network. The main point is to capture sensitive information which will assist us in a penetration test. We compared and contrasted the active and passive sniffing techniques. Furthermore, we demonstrated various packet-capturing techniques and analyses using a suite of tools found on Kali NetHunter. I hope this chapter has been informative and resourceful foryour studies and career.
In the next chapter, we will cover targeting wireless devices and networks.
