When a packet sniffer is installed in the network, the sniffer intercepts the network traffic and captures the raw data packets. These packets are reassembled once all the data packets reach their intended destination. In packet-switched networks, the data to be transmitted is broken down into several packets. To understand how a packet sniffer works, you need to first understand that data travels through a network in the form of packets. Using network monitoring tools we are able to sniff and pull IP addresses from every connection on your device.
