ABSTRACT
Computer visualization and animation have been used in computer science education to help students better understand the concepts. This paper presents an animated simulator for packet sniffer and its use in a network security course. The animated packet sniffer simulator was designed to demonstrate graphically the security concept packet sniffer and related computer networks concepts. It is geared towards an introductory level computer security course. This tool was used in a network security course, and its effectiveness in teaching and learning was assessed. The evaluation result shows that this animation tool is effective in meeting its learning objectives.

Network Traffic Analysis and Intrusion Detection Using Packet Sniffer
ICCSN '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Second International Conference on Communication Software and NetworksComputer software that can intercept and log traffic passing over a digital network or part of a network is better known as packet sniffer. The sniffer captures these packets by setting the NIC card in the promiscuous mode and eventually decodes them. ...
