What is a packet sniffer or packet capturer? Is there one for the ds?

 

[commdante]

A packet sniffer or capturer is a program that uses a hardware device that is capable to capture network packets in global (not those that are merely directed to it).

Google next time please, should be on wiki.

Is there a program that does that for the ds?

DS uses wifi, so any wifi sniffer will do. You'll have to search for it yourself though, and you'll need a decent wifi adapter that can go promicious (:?) or scan-mode or whatever it's called these days..

Can you give me the name of one of them?
