Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of various kind of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, [...]

IPAudit monitors network activity on a network by host, protocol and port. It listens to a network device in promiscuous mode, and records every connection between two ip addresses. A unique connection is determined by the ip addresses of the two machines, the protocol used between them, and the port numbers (if they are communicating [...]

EtherPEG was a program that sniffed for JPEGs passing by on the AirPort networks at MacHack, and showed them on the huge screen [...]

Cain & Abel has some awesome stuff built in like native network sniffing and network password grabbing.
Cain & Abel is a password recovery [...]
