What's SniifIt?

SniffIt is a Distribted Sniffer System, which allows users to capture network traffic from an unique machine using a graphical client application. This feature is very useful in switched networks, where traditional sniffers only allow users to sniff their own network traffic.

SniffIt was born as a Master Thesis project for the Telecomunications Engeneering School at the University of Valladolid, in Spain. It was desgined to be used in a one course about TCP/IP, so it is very adequated for educational enviroments.
