wireshark - remote packet sniffing

[ViviTheMage]

I am just doing some reading, seems to be a fair amount of public articles on how to sniff packets.

Now, I have used wireshark before for cisco gear, and some riverbed stuff, but one thing that I always wondered was how people sniff packets when they're remote, at home?

How are they running wireshark on their computer, and sniff out packets on others computers, in other networks?

If only I read for a few minutes longer ... man in the middle attacks, arp poisoning, got it.

Now where to find some fun software :shifteyes:
