i'm gobsmacked..................

i didn't realise it was so easy to look at the contents of packets as they 
moved around the network........

i geuss this is how hackers get your emails and passwords then.....
does this mean it's possible to listen in to general network trafic outside 
of my machine?
don't worry.... it's not a general pastime of mine to eavs drop on 
others...... just want to know how much of what i do and say is available to 
others......
