Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sniffer programs are designed to capture and record data that passes through a computer or router handling Internet traffic. They can be used for network troubleshooting or security purposes but can also be used maliciously to collect sensitive data such as passwords or credit card numbers. Intruder programs are used to gain unauthorized access to a system. Copier programs are designed to create exact duplicates of files, and backdoor programs provide a way for attackers to gain access to a system that bypasses normal authentication methods.
