I use two packages for watching network traffic, iptraf and ipgrab.  iptraf allows you
to view any connections on your segment of the network, the data throughputs and port
etc.  ipgrab dumps each packet to stdio (or to a file).  Last time I used ipgrab I was
being dns flooded and ipgrab let me see what the query was requesting (Although it
generated about 2mb in 5 seconds) Is that what you're after?

What do you mean?  One's plain text and the other is encrypted (and optionally
compressed)  If you want to see how easy it is to grab passwords and so forth from a
telnet session, use ipgrab.
