A network sniffer is an application that can intercept and analyze the traffic sent and/or received via a given network.

Also called packet sniffers or traffic analyzers, these type of apps will grab each network packet and analyze it in accordance with predefined criteria.

Traffic sniffers are used to filter suspicious network packets, to investigate network problems, and to create network statistics reports.

Some network sniffers may also be used to monitor network usage or to quickly debug client/server communications.
