Description-en: packet sniffer and monitoring tool
Sniffit is a packet sniffer for TCP/UDP/ICMP packets over IPv4. It is able
to give you a very detailed technical info on these packets, as SEQ, ACK,
TTL, Window, etc. The packet contents also can be viewed, in different
formats (hex or plain text, etc.).
.
Sniffit is based in libpcap and is useful when learning about computer
networks and their security.
