Craig – what kind of protection are you expecting? Unencrypted traffic can be easily monitored, end of story.

- use SFTP (this does NOT use FTP protocol and has nothing to do with normal FTP, despite the common belief). Problem: SFTP is not used for warez, it’s for secure transfer of files, like backups of Linux boxes. You need a shell account on any box you’d like to connect to via SFTP.

- use FTP over SSL/TLS (this does use FTP protocol, but is encrypted) and make sure you crypt both command and data channel if you do. Problem: This needs to be supported by the server which is often not the case.

This is very interesting and useful information. It seems that there is also an urgent need for information about how to obtain protection against this spying.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Good find. This product needs some tools for configuration, i.e. where to store the captured files, or filters on what to capture or what to see, etc.

Anyone knows how to make laptop into line analyzer? I have a network printer that fails to scan-to-email and it drives me crazy as there is no log in the printer.

Maybe I need a second NIC like a PCMCIA card and connect the printer in and out of the laptop? But what to do next?
