One day some bright spark will actually make a sniffer that forwards the login packets to another safer host... or even to a bogus host and he sniffs them before they get there, just to make it real fun :)
Dont people already do that? Just route all connections through the machine you want to pick up the data from. Also, sniffing takes quite a bit of cpu on a busy network and if the program itself is gonna be busy sending data to other hosts as well, there's a good chance it will be missing packets and wont keep up. -- Christopher William Klaus Internet: gt6468c () prism gatech edu coup () gnu ai mit edu cklaus () hotsun nersc gov 26468 GaTech Station, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 (404)-206-1513
