hacking for newbie

[jimihieu]

hi guys
im using FC3
i connect to internet through a routers
hmm i just wonder what tools can i use to see all the packets that other computers connect to same router as mine are doing?
or to interrupt what they doing? eg: send them a friendly message?
just a curiosity to show off with my friends
thanx

What level of networking experience do you have? For example, do you understand the difference between a hub and a switch?

Hi,

You can use ethereal, tcpdump and Snort for traffic monitoring.
