Sniffit is a robust non-commercial network protocol analyzer or packet
sniffer. A packet sniffer basically listens to network traffic and
produces analysis based on the traffic and/or translates packets into some level
of human readable form.

- sniffit can accept a configuration file, to allow complex setups that
would be difficult to type in from the command line. See the man pages
for format details
- Two versions of sniffit are provided. The manual mode version is
provided due to its small size. The interactive version is probably
more useful, but is quite a bit larger, as it is statically linked against
the ncurses library so it will work properly with LRP.
- sniffit is not provided as an LRP file, it's just the exectuable.
Simply copy one of the sniffit files above somewhere in your path (like
/usr/local/bin).
- You should probably not leave sniffit lying around on your system.
If anyone manages to break in, they will have a tool for sniffing packets on
your internal network, where you probably have cleartext (and weakly
encrypted Microsoft) passwords flying around. I suggest you put
sniffit on a utilities disk, and only load it when necessary, deleting it
from your system when you're done using it.
