Network monitoring is a management tool for monitoring network status, data flow, and information transmission on the network. It can set the network interface to monitoring mode and intercept information transmitted on the network. In other words, when a hacker logs in to a network host and obtains super user rights, if he wants to log in to other hosts, he can effectively intercept data on the network by using network monitoring.
