For a malicious actor like this, a particularly juicy target would be unencrypted passwords. Hackers can also use packet capturing software to sniff network traffic, looking to steal data that is being transmitted over a network. A critical function of NetWitness Investigator is that it converts each protocol into common language so that network engineers and non-engineers alike can perform effective analysis. It can also be used to analyze the data captured from a network in order to identify internal or external security threats. Who is using packet capturing software?Īn organization may use software like Wireshark or RSA’s NetWitness Investigator to inspect packets to help diagnose and solve network problems or to determine whether security policies are being followed by their end-users. Packet capture analysis software enables the capture of network packet traffic and allows one to save frame details and analyze them in different methods. This can be accomplished by using packet capture and analysis software. So you will not be able to reliably tell 192.168.1.10's own traffic from the traffic of the 10.10.2.0/24 members hidden behind 192.168.1.10.In computer networking, a packet capture is a term for intercepting a data packet that is crossing over a target network. If the above is true, then you'll see all the traffic between 10.10.2.0/24 and the outside world, but its "local side" IP address will always be 192.168.1.10 in your captures. Now, I suppose that in order to allow bi-directional traffic between 10.10.2.0/24 and the outside world, the 192.168.1.10 has to apply NAT on the traffic which goes from 10.10.2.0/24 to the outside world, because otherwise you would not forward the response packets for 10.10.2.0/24's requests to 192.168.1.10, as you probably haven't set up "route -net 10.10.2.0/24 gw 192.168.1.10" in your pfSense. You WILL NOT be able to see the traffic which runs inside the 10.10.2.0/24 (between the "hotspot" users). You WILL be able to see the traffic which goes between 10.10.2.0/24 and the outside world,

Supposing your pfSense is the only gateway from 192.168.1.0/24 to the outside world:
