Carnivore goes private, Sniff'em captures and monitors the network data streams.

Carnivore goes Private. Sniff'em allows you to monitor and capture the network data stream and to create extensive filters which allow you to capture passwords, emails and alike.The more legitimate usage however is to use Sniff'em as a Network connection debug tool.

Luxembourg - December 4, 2001 - After 15 months of development, Y.A.S.C (Yet Another
Software Company) has released the gold master CD of Sniff'em, a
competitively-priced, high performance Windows packet sniffer that monitors and
analyzes network traffic, allows network managers to detect and eliminate
bottlenecks and other network related problems, and performs application debugging,
fault analysis, network protocol analysis, data stream filtering, network intrusion
detection, and usage monitoring. Sniff'em makes it easy to discover why computers on
the network can't communicate with each other, or why traffic is backing up on a
particular device. Network intrusion can be detected, and logs can be created and
saved to preserve an audit trail of all data that moves through the network.

With Sniff'em, the system administration can instantly identify throughput problems
in the network. Simply choose the adapter that you want to monitor, and you can
watch each incoming and outgoing packet. By clicking on a packet, you can look at
the raw data that it contains.

Sniff'em's powerful filtering lets you quickly specify which packets to monitor. You
can include or exclude packets based upon high-level and low-level protocols, a
range of IP addresses, ports, the unique 12-digit Media Access Control (MAC) address
that is assigned to each piece of ethernet hardware, packet size, and even specific
text strings that are contained in the packets. Whether you're concerned about
warez, pornography, or other inappropriate network traffic, Sniff'em lets you
pinpoint the material that you're looking for, and examine the captured packets.

Advanced users can modify packet data, send packets, and generate (forge) packets.
The new Packet Wizard allows template-based packet creation.

All or selected activity can be logged in either a space-saving Sniff'em Project
format, or as human-readable information in HTML, text, or comma-separated formats.
Sniff'em can be set up to begin recording information when Windows is loaded, or you
can start and stop capturing data with just a mouse click. It can even file the
information into custom folders based upon date and time information. Sniff'em's new
public/private key cryptographic system takes fingerprints of any log files and can
determine if they have been tampered with or become corrupted.

Sniff'em takes the guesswork out of network management, and replaces it with peace
of mind.
