Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Packet sniffing is a technique whereby packet data flowing across the network is detected and observed. Network administrators use packet sniffing tools to monitor and validate network traffic, while hackers may use similar tools for nefarious purposes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once in place, the packet sniffer can record any data transmitted and send it to a command and control (C&C) server for further analysis. It’s then possible for hackers to attempt packet injection or man-in-the-middle attacks, along with compromising any data that was not encrypted before being sent.
