    I wrote a summary article detailing the pros and cons as I saw them over
    the 6 most popular sniffers.

    http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/42922/42922.html

    www.windowsitpro.com has a few dozen articles on sniffers besides mine.

    Check www.packet-level.com for books and ebooks on sniffing.

    Subject: Packet sniffers

    Dear all,

    I am interested to use a packet snifer and I would like to know if
    there a site that compares various packet sniffers to chose the most
    suitable for me.
    Apart from that, I would like to know if there are available Ebooks
    on the web about packet sniffing tools especially Ethereal

    Thanks in advance,

    m.P
