Digital Forensic 5


 From corporate America to the local town’s little league, we rely on digital networks to communicate, store information, and conduct transactions. Securing these networks is critical to prevent cyber-attacks and thwart any criminal activity. Network Security encompasses a multitude of techniques and methodologies. For this unit’s discussion, we want to explore packet sniffers.

  • Define what a packet sniffer is. 
  • How do these packet sniffers work? 
  • How are packet sniffers used to prevent Network attacks? 
  • Research a specific packet sniffer and explain its features.
