This is a demonstration of how easy is to sniff a remote computer internet connection in real time, for this I will be using open source tools like ettercap and dsniff’s webspy, because in a real world scenario all computer in a network are connected to a switch, network traffic is not redirected to every port on the switch therefore in order to see the traffic between our victim computer and the gateway, I need to implement ettercap’s ARP cached poisoning to successfully capture data between the two host.
