# The net/angst port

## angst-0.4bp1 – active packet sniffer

## Description

    Angst is an active sniffer, based on libpcap and libnet,
    providing methods for aggressive sniffing on switched local
    area network environments.
    It dumps the payload of all the TCP packets received on the
    specified ports. Moreover, it implements methods for active
    sniffing.
    Angst currently provides two active sniffing methods:
    - The first monitors ARP requests, and after enabling IP
      forwarding on the local host, sends ARP replies mapping
      all IPs to the local MAC address.
    - The second method floods the local network with random
      addresses (like macof v1.1 by Ian Vitek), causing switches
      to send packets to all ports.
