The Convenience and Reliability of Virtual Sniffing
Virtual sniffing is the most convenient and reliable form of sniffing and should be used in preference to all other forms of sniffing whenever practical. Virtual sniffing is convenient because it requires no setup to use except for a very small amount of software engineering (typically between one and four hours) that is done once and then never again. Once support for Virtual sniffing has been built into application or into a development environment none of the traditional sniffing setup work need be done.
This means:
- NO piconet synchronization.
- NO serial connection to tap.
- NO USB connection to tap.
Virtual sniffing is reliable because there is nothing that can fail. With Virtual sniffing all data is always captured.
