Passive packet sniffing attacks 
- In a passive packet sniffing attack, the hacker takes a less direct route, monitoring your hub or network and watching the packets as they pass through. 

How does the attack work?

Stage 1 of the attack involves implementing the attacker's preferred intercept attack method. This can include injecting malicious code into a computer, spoofing access to a network hub, spoofing MAC addresses, or modifying a computer's DNS cache.

Stage 2 An attacker can spend any period of time waiting and collecting data. There are cases where attackers wait months to, collect enough important information .

Stage 3 . Having collected the information the intruder simply analyzes it and finds the data which is important for him.

Sniffers are often used for packet inspection.

Packet sniffers can be of two types: Active and passive. 

Passive packet sniffers do not respond to requests, i.e. they only collect data and cannot be detected. Passive sniffers are useful in areas such as telecommunications, radar systems, medical equipment, etc. These are tools such as Colasoft Capsa, TCPDUMP and Wireshark.

Active packet sniffers can send data to the network and can therefore be detected by other systems using various methods.
For example, an active packet sniffer can spoof responses to a broadcast or forward it to a legitimate host. Scapy, smart RF and the ACTIV protocol network packet sniffer are some of the active packet sniffers.

And that's it 🎯

As a conclusion I can say .🧩
You have to be very interesting for the government to apply such methods of surveillance, because in many normal cases you will not be watched like that. Nevertheless, be vigilant and watch your security, update your software, watch your network and suspicious moments in it, do not go to unfamiliar links and do not keep standard applications. After all, more often it is your lack of caution that attackers comb.
