It uses ARP poisoning and the man-in-the-middle technique to sniff all
the connections between two host.
It's possible to sniff in three modes:
+ IP Based, the packets are filtered on IP source and dest
+ MAC Based, packets filtered on mac address, useful to sniff
connections through gateway
+ ARP based, uses arp poisoning to sniff in switched lan.
Ettercap also supports character injection and plugins.
