We had to use this in several labs for our networking class. It's a packet sniffer that captures packets going through an interface (wired or wireless) and you can filter through the capture to see what all is going on. Catch DNS, HTTP, general TCP, DHCP, you name it.

Woo! This is exactly the kind of tool I was looking for! Though I think I'm gonna have to rebuild it since I did a bare "aclocal, autoconf, ./configure" - and then noticed I was building it with very, very limited options. Crossing fingers "make uninstall"(since I already ran make) will clean things up for me.

I'm definitely not looking to "get my hands dirty" in any sort of black-hat way, just in the nature of digging into the linux system - but setting up a home server is definitely on my path!
