Is there a packet sniffing package that runs under Linux?

Yep, called SNIFFIT, http://despair.capecod.net/sniffit/sniffit.html

It's quite a neat little program, latches onto any port and lets you
monitor whatever. It's even got a slick looking ncurses interface. I
found it better than tcpdump by far ;>

Before asking such question one should look at:

http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtml

Sniffit

http://reptile.rug.ac.be/~coder/sniffit/sniffit.html

When I did run sniffit once here, the computer group guys didn't like it.
Somehow I got a lot of accounts/passwords by sniffing only at port 23 :-).

I guess running this as a normal user in a commercial environment can get you
fired real quick!

have fun with it, Paul

Why is it better than tcpdump? What do you use it for?

Tcpdump and linsniffer I find are good for just leaving there and checking
for activity afterwards, although sniffit can do this too, the ncurses
interfaces basically allows you to select a tcp connection to monitor in
realtime, ie; you can hop between connections you wish to observe on the
fly via a menu type arrangement which updates as and when connections
appear and disappear.

Hope I have been of some help.
