acket Sniffer is a) an application that captures TCP/IP data packets, which can maliciously be used to capture passwords and other data while it is in transit either within the computer or over the network. b) a situation in which one person or program successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data and thereby gaining illegitimate access. c) a toolkit for hiding the fact that a computer’s security has been compromised, is a general description of a set of programs which work to subvert control of an operating system from its legitimate (in accordance with established rules) operators. d) None of these

Network sniffing is the act of observing communications on the network in either a passive or an active mode. With sniffing, you can see what is being transmitted unprotected on the network and potentially intercept sensitive information. Attackers use sniffers to compromise the confidentiality of data as it flows across a network. Answer the following question(s): In a university environment, what ethical concerns might exist for administrators when sniffing traffic? Should you encrypt all network traffic to protect against unauthorized network sniffing? Why or why not?
