sniffing from linux machine a windows machine

hi i am using backtrack on my own pc, on my lan is also next pc, and i want to sniff from that second pc icq messages. can i use dsniff for it? which command i need to use. ip of the second computer in lan is : 192.168.2.180 thanks

you just told us the ip of one of your boxes… probably not too smart on a hacking forum.

yeah sorry for that so ip of computer with linux is 192.168.2.179 and for computer with icq 192.168.2.180 .. for now, dhcp changes it every week :D

heh, not like it's any good to anyone outside his network

My old lan was world accessable… unless that has a special name :S

Doesn't matter, if they would sniff for an 192.169.x.x address they would just end up in their own network. ;). It's a bit like the 127.0.0.1 address :D

"Vulnerable?"

Yeah, 192.168.x.x addresses are internal IPs… they aren't valid for travel outside of that network. 10.x.x.x and 172.16.x.x - 172.32.x.x are the same way.

If they sniffed for a 192.169.x.x address, they'd probably find one, since it's not a public IP set. That one's 192.168.x.x, tho… :happy: And, really, it's not at all like the 127.0.0.1 address… that's a loopback, which just sends all traffic directly back to the computer you're on.

okay what you need to do is pick up the laptop move it adjacent to the router raise it to you face and take a deep breathe in through your nose. Well done you just sniffed your network ^.^

Raise the router or the laptop? And is the laptop considered second-hand snort? :happy:
