Very cool “sniffer” application …
I couldn’t help but read through this application description. Very innovative … I really like it. This application not only “sniffs” IP traffic off any Internet connection, it looks for images being transferred over HTTP connections, and grabs the images … displaying them for your viewing pleasure! (Or displeasure!)

What I really like is that this demonstrates how insecure your connections can be … it looks for specific data types and snatches them … and could be a very usefull tool for administrators. This again shows how VPNs and SOCKS proxies can really provide you more security … if implemented correctly.
