I vaguely recall that packet sniffers are used for analysis, but I can't remember if they also track illegal packets like option B suggests.

I feel like option D makes the most sense, but I could be mixing it up with something else we studied.

I think a packet sniffer captures network traffic, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main function.

Easy one! A packet sniffer is a tool that lets you see all the network traffic going through a specific point on the network. Option D is the clear answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between a packet sniffer and a network monitor. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'm trying to think through the different options, but I'm a bit confused on how the timing would work in each case. I might need to review my notes on performance testing before answering this.

In our practice questions, we differentiated between them, so I'm leaning towards false. They're not the same tool.
