Certainly! Here are examples of auditing software and sniffing software: 1. **Auditing Software:** - Example: **Wireshark** - *Explanation:* Wireshark is a widely used open-source network protocol analyzer. It allows users to capture and analyze data traveling back and forth on a network in real-time. Wireshark helps in auditing network traffic, identifying potential security issues, and troubleshooting network problems. 2. **Sniffing Software:** - Example: **Nmap (Network Mapper)** - *Explanation:* Nmap is a powerful open-source tool used for network exploration and security auditing. While its primary purpose is not malicious, it can be used for sniffing by discovering devices on a network and providing details about open ports, services, and other information that could be used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities.
