The LC5 Wizard is almost ready to begin auditing the password hashes by

LC5 is now ready to begin capturing any passwords of users logging in to
servers on the network. Click the Start Sniffing button.
*Note: Keep in mind that the traffic you see is completely dependent upon the
environment the computer ???sniffing??? resides in. For example, if the network
link you are using is connected to a network hub, you will be able to see all
traffic going through that hub to all other computers on that hub. If, however,
the network link you are using is connected to a switch, you will only be
able to see traffic specifically destined to/from your connection. There is a
way to ???sniff??? traffic on a switch to show all traffic to a specific or every
computer on a switch, which will be covered in Chapter 9.

Once the passwords have been captured, click the Stop Sniffing button
and view the results.
