Angst is an active sniffer, based on libpcap and libnet,
providing methods for aggressive sniffing on switched local
area network environments.
It dumps the payload of all the TCP packets received on the
specified ports. Moreover, it implements methods for active
sniffing.
Angst currently provides two active sniffing methods:
- The first monitors ARP requests, and after enabling IP
forwarding on the local host, sends ARP replies mapping
all IPs to the local MAC address.
- The second method floods the local network with random
addresses (like macof v1.1 by Ian Vitek), causing switches
to send packets to all ports.
