Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A password sniffer is a type of Trojan horse that is designed to capture passwords as they are transmitted over a network or stored on a user's computer. It can record identification numbers or other sensitive data before it is encrypted by an application or sent over a secure connection. The other choices, such as logic bombs, variants, and rootkits, may also be used to compromise computer systems, but they do not specifically target identification numbers.
