A lot of data is being transferred across a network every time. These data can be used by the system administrators for analyzing real time network traffic. But, the data being transferred may be confidential or proprietary and there are chances for an attacker or cracker to discover vulnerabilities in the network and exploit the information contained in it. Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer uses network sniffing to capture usernames and passwords. This paper demonstrates a website which can be used with Wireshark to enable the captured passwords and usernames of several sites to be listed in an efficient way.
