Network traffic can contain sensitive data such as user names and passwords (Photo credit: ) Monitor internet traffic with SmartSniff For example, to monitor our WiFi traffic we just had to choose the connection name ‘WiFi’ while, as you guessed it, our ethernet adapter was called ‘ethernet’. Our test laptop had a lot of them, but most of them could be ignored (anything with a 0.0.0.0 IP address) and the “Connection Name” column should tell you which adapter to use. Next, select the network adapter you want SmartSniff to monitor. Leave the default option ‘Raw Sockets’ selected for now (ignore ‘Windows 2000 / XP’, it works on anything up to Windows 10.) When you start SmartSniff for the first time, you will be asked to choose a recording method. If you’re not sure which version you need, get the installer. Just download and unzip it, then run the SmartSniff executable smsniff.exe. If you’re using a modern Windows 10 PC, the 64-bit version is best. Scroll down to the bottom of the SmartSniff website page and you’ll find that there are three ways to download it: a simple zip file, a 64-bit build, and a version with an installer that covers it all.
