Sniffing and Penetration Testing

When I was pursuing my Master of engineering (M.E) degree, I used to sniff the networks in my friends' hostel with my favorite tool, Cain and Abel. My friends would usually surf e-commerce websites. The next day, when I told them that the shoes they were shopping for were good, they would be amazed. They always wondered how I got this information. Well, this is all due to sniffing the network.

In this chapter, we will study sniffing a network, and will cover the following topics:

  • The concept of a sniffer
  • The types of network sniffing
  • Network sniffing using Python
  • Packet crafting using Python
  • The ARP spoofing concept and implementation by Python
  • Testing security by custom-packet crafting
