Local area networks in homes, offices, college campuses, and internet cafés are common breeding grounds for all kinds of adware, spyware and badware. An example of network malware are ill-intended packet sniffers. Such software intercepts data packets sent over the network and stores them for a hacker to review and extract information out of.
It is quite hard for users and network administrators to identify presence of traffic sniffers in the network. And even if identified, there isn’t much that can be done to stop them. A far more efficient approach is rendering the intercepted data completely unusable and not worth the bother.
