Understanding what's going on with a network is a critical skill for security professionals, sys admins, and IT professionals. Not everyone has a networking background, though viewing network information shouldn't require it. This talk will focus on how to use Etteracp and filters to do more than Man-In-The-Middle attacks. We will demonstrate how to use span ports, taps, and passive sniffing to detail network transactions, find credentials , and more without having to know what happens when you push an ack with your urgent bit. For students, we'll have information on how to extend this framework for your classmates.
