Re: [PEN-TEST] Protocol Sniffer on PPP interface

[Ryan Permeh <ryan () EEYE COM>]

there is not a public sniffer that i know ofthat supports windows RAS as a
device.  The specs and protocols are all closed, so someone inside microsoft
would have to develop this or an interface to this before any sniffer
vendors can produce a sniffer on this hardware. And, as a side note, i did
not beleive that sniffer pro worked on w2k yet, is there a recently released
version?
