Created new universal sniffer Ferret
Specialists from Errata Security have developed a universal network sniffer Ferret (“Khorek”), which intercepts traffic using 25 protocols, including all popular IM protocols, DHCP, SNMP, DNS and HTTP.
Universal Ferret 1.0 sniffer ( presentation , distribution ) can intercept and record almost any information that is transmitted over the network from a specified IP address, including email with passwords, IM contact lists, URLs of visited websites with passwords in the URL and much more. The program perfectly demonstrates how vulnerable we all are in the face of an inquisitive enemy.
Sniffer Ferret can collect a huge amount of information in any local network, because all computers broadcast some service packets to the surrounding area, including WiFi, DHCP, NetBIOS / SMB, DNS / Bonjour packages. All these packets can be recognized and intercepted.
