During a penetration testing engagement, a penetration tester uses a tool to capture and analyze network packets to determine the types of traffic passing through the network. What is this process called?
Traffic analysis
Sniffing
Packet crafting
Traffic shaping
The process of capturing and analyzing packets that are traversing a network is known as sniffing. Sniffing enables a penetration tester to view network traffic in real-time or from captured files, which can help in identifying data flows, protocols in use, and possibly insecure data transmission. By doing this, the penetration tester can find potential vulnerabilities or gather useful information for the engagement.
