Compared to similar works this application shows the layer involved in sniffing and the protocols.
This Passive Sniffer would be installed on a collision domain that makes use of the switch
rather than the broadcast domain (HUB). The collision domain would be used since the use of
HUBS in network setting is gradually reducing due to its broadcasting nature.
Psniffer has a very rich and user friendly GUI developed in Java Swing Technology. Thus it is
totally easy to use. With Java, the most considerable advantage is platform independence; therefore
Psniffer is also platform independent. The installation file for Psniffer is only 587 KB, so it is
highly economical in terms of memory use and because it is based on object-oriented design, any
further changes can be easily adaptable.
