Theft of passwords is the most disastrous thing that can happen to a company or a person. Typical users type a password at least once a day. Data is often thought of as secure because access to it requires a password. Users usually are very careful about guarding their password by not sharing it with anyone and not writing it down anywhere.
When the user types any of these passwords, the system sends each character in a password across the network, which is extremely easy for any Ethernet sniffer to see. End users do not realize just how easily these passwords can be found by someone using a simple and common piece of software.
