dc.description.abstract | The computer security industry spoke
about the term “ethical hacking” to describe a
hacker with authorization to, without any bad
intentions, attacks a network or other security
system – whether private or public – on behalf of its
owners. Ethical hackers are also called white hat
hackers, and they are distinguished from the black
hat hackers. They use a variety of tools and apply
them efficiently to discover any vulnerability in the
system. This is when a Network Packet Analyzer
come into place and is used to monitor, intercept,
and decode data packets as they are transmitted
across networks. Packet analyzers can be computer
programs either software or hardware. Some
common alternative names for packet analyzers
include packet sniffers, protocol analyzers, and
network analyzers. We describe different Network
Packet Analyzer tools, how they work and examine
which are more susceptible to be detected when
analyzed.
Key Terms - MITM Attack, Network Analyzer,
Packet Sniffers, Protocol Analyzers. | en_US |
