Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end and integrated sorting and filtering options.. Wireshark lets the user put network interface controllers into promiscuous mode (if supported by the network interface controller), so they can see all the traffic visible on that interface including unicast traffic not sent to that network interface controller's MAC address.

ngrep (network grep) is a network packet analyzer written by Jordan Ritter.It has a command-line interface, and relies upon the pcap library and the GNU regex library.. ngrep supports Berkeley Packet Filter logic to select network sources or destinations or protocols, and also allows matching patterns or regular expressions in the data payload of packets using GNU grep syntax, showing packet ...
On wireless LANs, traffic can be captured on one channel at a time, or by using multiple adapters, on several channels simultaneously. On wired broadcast and wireless LANs, to capture unicast traffic between other machines, the network adapter capturing the traffic must be in promiscuous mode.
Most current Unix-like systems provide a mechanism by which a program can capture network traffic to and from the machine running the program and, in some cases, other traffic to which that machine is attached. However, these mechanisms are significantly different from one another; the libpcap library provides a common API to access these ...
A packet capture appliance is a standalone device that performs packet capture. [1] Packet capture appliances may be deployed anywhere on a network, however, most commonly are placed at the entrances to the network (i.e. the internet connections) and in front of critical equipment, such as servers containing sensitive information.
Passive monitoring is a technique used to capture traffic from a network by copying traffic, often from a span port or mirror port or via a network tap.It can be used in application performance management for performance trending and predictive analysis. [1]
A non-routing node in promiscuous mode can generally only monitor traffic to and from other nodes within the same collision domain (for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11) or ring (for Token Ring). Computers attached to the same Ethernet hub satisfy this requirement, which is why network switches are used to combat malicious use of promiscuous mode.
