If a sniffer is a tool to sniff out network traffic, it must be operating at the lowest layer, the Data Link layer. D is the way to go!

This is a tricky one. I'm going to go with C, the Presentation layer, because that's where all the data gets formatted, right?

Hmm, I thought sniffers worked at the Session layer to monitor network traffic. I'm going with B.

You're correct, sniffers do operate at the Data link layer to capture network packets.

Wait, isn't a sniffer supposed to be a hacker tool? I'm pretty sure it's in the Network layer, so A must be the right answer.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be the Network layer because it deals with routing and forwarding of data.

I agree with Reita, because a sniffer captures data packets at the network interface level.
