Following your web actions is easier, /if/ your router publishes all network traffic of everybody on the wireless interface, which they typically don't. If you are connected by cable, it is easier to "sniff" (that's the name of the action).
Why is that easier? I thought the contrary. My main PC is connected by cable... Should I better connect it per WiFi? (I have an old WiFi-card laying around somewhere...)
Actually, "sniffing" on the wired network is harder, as you need physical access to it. Also, with switches, someone on another port will see very little traffic that's intended for someone else. All they'd see is broadcasts, including unicast frames flooded to the network, when the switch doesn't yet know what port a device is connected to. The exception to this is with managed switches which can be configured to mirror all traffic on one port to another. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
