Carnivore Sniffing

Does anyone out there know if it is possible to sniff packets in the local network - not just the local computer - using the Carnivore library? Also, where can I find detailed documentation about the library, ie JavaDoc?

Thanks

  • Well, if I look at the library page, it implies that it listens to the whole network already. The FAQ mention a potential caveat.

    The source is available, so I suppose the JavaDoc is inside...

  • Actually, there is no JavaDoc available with the library. It is impossible to find info, I also emailed the developers - no answer for a few days now...

  • Answer ✓

    JavaDoc is made out of special comments, starting with /**, before classes and methods. So even if it is not generated / extracted, it is in the source code.
