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.
This variation is commonly known as a "wallhack" since it basically allows to the player to see enemies through walls. World-hacking relies on the fact that an FPS server usually sends raw positional information for all players in the game, and leaves it up to the client's 3D renderer to hide opponents behind walls, in plant foliage, or in dark ...
Packet crafting is a technique that allows network administrators to probe firewall rule-sets and find entry points into a targeted system or network. This is done by manually generating packets to test network devices and behaviour, instead of using existing network traffic. [1]
Cheating in video games involves a video game player using various methods to create an advantage beyond normal gameplay, usually in order to make the game easier.Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers), or created by third-party software (a game trainer or debugger) or hardware (a cheat cartridge).
PunkBuster is a computer program that is designed to detect software used for cheating in online games.It does this by scanning the memory contents of the local machine. A computer identified as using cheats may be banned from connecting to protected servers.
Testing and development of new network protocols (send a packet, see if device behaves appropriately) Reverse-engineering network protocols for security analysis (such as malware) Troubleshooting secure connections (using the SSL server and client). Automation (via Packet Sender's command line interface or resend feature)
Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) is an anti-cheat tool developed by Valve as a component of the Steam platform, first released with Counter-Strike in 2002. When the software detects a cheat on a player's system, it will ban them in the future, possibly days or weeks after the original detection. [ 1 ]
Packet capture is the process of intercepting and logging traffic. As data streams flow across the network, the analyzer captures each packet and, if needed, decodes the packet's raw data, showing the values of various fields in the packet, and analyzes its content according to the appropriate RFC or other specifications.
