I have trouble seeing how it's any more an invasion of privacy than
existing tools like etherfind are. What is it that makes this one so
objectionable? I don't want an answer to that, actually; I just want
you to think about it.
Is it automatic assembly of packets into TCP data streams?
Is it a point-and-drool GUI interface?
