 AIM Sniff -v0.9b

Published on 2003-08-14 - by Shawn Grimes, ©Shawn Grimes.

 Aldebaran -v3.0.2

Published on 2001-04-04 - by Rogala Software, ©Rogala Software.

Aldebaran is an advanced Linux sniffer/network analyser. It supports sending data to another host, dump file encryption, real time mode, packet content scanning, network statistics in HTML, capture rules, colored output, and much more.

 darkstat -v2.6

Published on 2003-11-07 - by Emil Mikulic, ©Emil Mikulic.

darkstat is a network traffic analyzer. It's basically a packet sniffer which runs as a background process on a cable/DSL router and gathers all sorts of useless but interesting statistics.

 dsniff -v2.3

Published on 2000-12-17 - by Dug Song, ©Dug Song.

dsniff is a suite of utilities that are useful for penetration testing. It consists of the following programs: arpredirect intercepts packets from a target host on the LAN intended for another host on the LAN by forging ARP replies. findgw determines the local gateway of an unknown network via passive sniffing. macof floods the local network with random MAC addresses. tcpkill kills specified in-progress TCP connections.

 Ethereal -v0.10.4

Published on 2004-05-13 - by Gerald Combs, ©Gerald Combs.

Ethereal is a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary and detail information for each packet. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session.

 ettercap -v0.7.2

Published on 2004-12-21 - by Alberto Ornaghi and Marco Valleri, ©Alberto Ornaghi and Marco Valleri.

Ettercap is a multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones) and includes many feature for network and host analysis.

 getdatang -

Published on 2003-04-30 - by Victor Pereira, ©Victor Pereira.

Getdata Protocol Analyzer is another sniffer made with libpcap that supports multiple protocols like TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, etc

 httpcapture -v0.4

Published on 2003-11-24 - by Steve Kemp, ©Steve Kemp.

The tool designed here is a simple application which contains a couple of simple plugins for capturing, decoding, and displaying some network logins. Currently FTP/POP3/HTTP Basic Realms and CVS logins are supported. More may arrive in the future.

 ipgrab -v0.9.8

Published on 2002-01-03 - by Mike Borella, ©Mike Borella.

A packet sniffing tool, based on the Berkeley packet capture library, that prints complete data-link, network and transport layer header information for all packets it sees.

 Juggernaut -v1.2

Published on - by konst, ©konst.

Juggernaut is a robust network tool for the Linux OS. It contains several modules offering a wide degree of functionality. Juggernaut has been tested successfully on several different Linux machines on several different networks. However, your mileage may vary depending on the network topologies of the environment (ie: Smart hubbing will kill much of the packet sniffing functionality...) and, to a lesser extent, the machine running Juggernaut. If something doesn't work, use a network debugger and figure out why...

 K-Arp-Ski -v0.101

Published on 1998-09-01 - by btx, ©btx.

K-Arp-Ski is a project that started with the intention of being a simple network mapper and misuse detector. It has since turned into a decent sniffer with a Gtk interface. For those of you who are interested, the name came from the Fat Boys rapper Kool Rock-Ski. I don't know why I chose his name, as he wasn't even my favorite of the Fat Boys (I liked the late Darren The Human Beat Box Robinson). But Kool Rock-Ski was pretty badass.

 KRIPP -v0.6

Published on 2004-04-11 - by Klyagin Konstantin Nickolayevich, ©Klyagin Konstantin Nickolayevich.

KRIPP is a very simple and extremely light-weight network passwords sniffer written in Perl, which uses only the tcpdump utility as an underlying traffic interceptor. The latest 0.2 version can sniff and display ICQ, FTP, HTTP and POP3 passwords.

 libpcap -v0.8.3

Published on 2004-03-30 - by Tcpdump Group, ©Tcpdump Group.

New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any" device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better, doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).

 Maxty -v0.1

Published on 2001-10-22 - by Paul Starzetz, ©Paul Starzetz.

Maxty is a small kernel-space tty sniffer. It will attach to read/write syscalls and save incomming/outgoing requests to opened tty devices into separate log files. It provides the system administrator of keeping a track what is happening on virtual consoles.

 Nast -v0.2.0

Published on 2004-02-16 - by Embyte, ©Embyte.

Nast is a packet sniffer and a LAN analyzer based on Libnet and Libpcap.

 Netdude -v0.4.3

Published on 2003-12-08 - by Christian Kreibich, ©Christian Kreibich.

Netdude is the NETwork DUmp data Displayer and Editor for tcpdump tracefiles.

 raddump - RADIUS packet analyzer -v0.2

Published on 2004-09-21 - by Jon Moore, ©Jon Moore.

raddump interprets captured RADIUS packets to print a timestamp, packet length, RADIUS packet type, source and destination hosts and ports, and included attribute names and values for each packet.

 SLSNIF -v0.4.1

Published on - by Warrior, ©Warrior.

slsnif is a serial line sniffer. It listens to the specified serial port and logs all data coming through it. slsnif works transparently for both the device connected to the serial port and the controlling software for this device. It operates by opening a pseudo tty (pty) and linking it to the actual serial port.

 Sniffer -v0.5

Published on 2001-03-14 - by James Stevenson, ©James Stevenson.

A Multi threaded packet sniffer for linux.

 Sniffit -v0.3.7b

Published on - by Brecht Claerhout, ©Brecht Claerhout.

A packetsniffer, develloped on LINUX, ported to SunOS/SOLARIS, IRIX and FreeBSD. Has various functions that aren't offered in any other non-commercial sniffer.

 TCPDUMP -v3.8.3

Published on 2004-03-30 - by Tcpdump Group, ©Tcpdump Group.

Tcpdump prints out the headers of packets on a network interface that match the boolean expression. It can also be run with the -w flag, which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later analysis, and/or with the -b flag, which causes it to read from a saved packet file rather than to read packets from a network interface. In all cases, only packets that match expression will be pro­ cessed by tcpdump.

 tcpick -v0.2.0

Published on 2005-01-09 - by Francesco Stablum, ©Francesco Stablum.

tcpick is a textmode sniffer libpcap-based that can track, reassemble and reorder tcp streams. Tcpick is able to save the captured flows in different files or displays them in the terminal, and so it is useful to sniff files that are transmitted via ftp or http. It can display all the stream on the terminal, when the connection is closed in different display modes like hexdump, hexdump + ascii, only printable charachters, raw mode and so on. Available a color mode too, helpful to read and understand better the output of the program. Actually it can handle several interfaces, including ethernet cards and ppp. It is useful to keep track of what users of a network are doing, and is usable with textmode tools like grep, sed, awk.
