  1. EtherPEG - Driftnet by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on A Network Sniffer On Steroids

    It was probably a variant of EtherPEG.. I don't use a mac, but driftnet runs great in linux. Works on ethernet too, although most networks are switched these days.

    (I have no idea if it works with newer hardware/drivers, but I am pretty sure this is what you are talking about.)

    Schlep your lappy to a Starbucks, tap into the wifi, and fire up Driftnet (linux) or EtherPEG (mac). Watch what flies by... hours of entertainment.

    I believe you're looking for Driftnet (for linux, etc.).
    There is also a program for Macs called EtherPeg which does the same thing; I believe it was the original one.

    I have the Belkin 802.11b USB adapter and it has official drivers from Belkin for Mac and the chipset manufacture has good Linux drivers. It has REALLY excellent range, it can pull in just about anything my Cisco 350 card can.Also, the airport cards all support a promiscuous mode, so you can always use them to scan.

    I doubt this tool will make it's way to OSX anytime soon, but OSX(and OS9) has EtherPEG. When I run it in my dorm I get a nice porn collage.

    Does thee get tempted with EtherPEG or Driftnet?

    Although only useful for fun, and not serious network analysis, have a play with Etherpeg

    EtherPEG works by capturing unencrypted TCP packets off your local network, collecting packets into groups based on TCP connection (determined from source IP address, destination IP address, source TCP port and destination TCP port), reassembling those packets into order based on TCP sequence number, and then scanning the resulting data for byte sequences that suggest the presence of JPEG or GIF data.

    Or in other words, fire it up, plug in a data projector and watch everyone's porn. Interesting side-effect: It makes (most) people a lot more careful what they browse if they know the results will be displayed for everyone's amusement. Mercifully, it's also a lot less likely these days to see The Goatse flying across the screen.

    If you have a mac then there is etherpeg. This will do what you want for any interface you want, including wireless. I ran it once at a conference for a laugh because I was bored. As the large JPGs of Japanese girls in swimsuits started filling my screen I decided it was a pretty poor idea!

    Stuart Cheshire (Creator of Bolo and the Apple's Rendezvous protocol) wrote a cool hack for MacHack 2000 that shows all JPEGs and GIFs sent over a 802.11b wireless network.

    I do recall mention of an interesting hack on Slasdot. I believe it was running at networld/Interop or perhaps a linux world conference. Basically, it grabbed jpegs and gifs off the ethernet which were floating by as part of other peoples surfing and displayed them on a large display
    It's Etherpeg (http://www.etherpeg.org/) (link for the brave) from MackHack 2000.

    Um, yeah, and the encryption is undone at the card. You can set the card in promiscious mode, and you can sniff the network. Its as simple as that. Check out www.etherpeg.org for more info, and source on how to do it.
