I am not into sniffers but the passwords are encrypted.

Excuse me, but I don't think you have ANY right to do this. If you are the administrator of a company network and you want to restrict employees form using Yahoo to check mail on company time, you have the right to do so. But you do not have the right to try and determine their passwords. If you were to use those passwords it would violate US Federal law.

If you are trying to do this on a home network, again, you do not have the right to invade someone's privacy like that.

Please do not ask or expect us to help with illegal or unethical activities.

hey mister Scott i jus really don know that but let me tel u ur us laws n that stuff doesn't realy matter to me anyway i was jus wondering abt the encryption man

Let me get this straight: you say that US laws don't apply to you so it's ok to attach a packet sniffer to a network to get passwords? And you want us to help you?

Better search for a haX0r script kiddee board 'cause you'll get no help from us here.

yes ofcourse its tru but i had a reason to do that coz as i was interested in studyin "HTTPS" thats it my teacher told me that https is used 4 encrypting passwords n so did i try some sniffing tools nothin more than that coz i hav heard that it gives me packests so the bottom line to say is i wanted to know whether "encryption algorithms were used" n my next question was wat sought of encryption algorithms
