.....and NOT your girlfriend! Recently in the news for assisting some bloke to catch his woman cheating, Ethereal is a handy packet sniffer that will capture and decode everything that is going through a network. Why you would want to see what your lady friend is chatting about is totally up to you, but with this tool you can do it pretty easily.

Takes a bit of time to get used to, especially if your on a busy connection. Make good use of the filters and you'll be able to check practically any element of the network traffic whether over a wired connection or a wireless.

Best:

Records all your network traffic, Lets you see what it's being used for, chat conversations, web pages, passwords, etc.

Worst:

A bit difficult to use effectively. Can catch you cheating. Can be used to find out passwords, or crack a wireless connection
