Driftnet

This cool little open source app (shown to me by Lance of the ILTA OSS group...thanks Lance) will let you monitor traffic streams passing by your nic. It reaches in, grabs valid graphic files passing by and tosses them up on your screen.  Cool stuff....albeit a bit "big brotherish" but still cool.

It runs on Linux so you Windose-only guys won't have much luck with it, however another similar project called EtherPEG runs on the MAC.
