For staters if you just run etheral or ethercap that would show you all the packages going through the network. Now you have to read the difference of this on a switched network verses unswitched.

I have read many articles about sniffing, spoofing and relaying. So far I learned that it is possible to connect a host, hostA, between two existing hosts, host1 and host2, in order to sniff e.g. plaintext protcols like telnet, pop3, and ftp. 1) Is this only in a local network possible or also in the Internet? 2) I would lik to test such a scenario in my private local network in order to prove myself and my team, that this is really possible. Can anybody provide me a kind of how-to for this scenario. I run different linux machines on my local network and on hostA I have various tools installed like dsniff, hunt, fakerout, P.A.T.H, wireshark, etc. -- Any help is very much appreciated.
