Abstracts: This project is intended to develop a tool called Packet Sniffer. The Packet Sniffer allows the computer to examine and analyze all the traffic passing by its network connection. It decodes the network traffic and makes sense of it. When it is set up on a computer, the network interface of the computer is set to promiscuous mode, listening to all the traffic on the network rather than just those packets destined for it. Packet Sniffer is a tool that sniffs without modifying the network’s packet in anyway. It merely makes a copy of each packet flowing through the network interface and finds the source and destination Ethernet addresses of the packets. It decodes the protocols in the captured packet and make analysis on packet data and take appropriate action according pre defined signature. It also write log in log file from captured packets.
