Well, you might say that, but this particular sniffer is intended to
be quite different than other similar projects. There are sniffers
that do packet logging (like tcpdump), other do network mapping,
intrusion detection by analyzing packet contents, etc. This project is
designed to be able to do all that and lots of other things. The idea
is to have a program that will allow user to do
anything he wants with the packets traveling
through his network by working at lower level and by being extremely
flexible. Look at the Concepts section for
information on how it's accomplished.
