It depends on what information you are looking for. SmartSniff (standalone exe w/ GUI) is okay for diagnostics but you would pretty much be stairing at raw packets.

There are specific sniffer solutions for specific needs, so you must disclose what you wish to monitor.

To prevent sniffing, you would have to use a VPN solution within your network to prevent non-authenticated clients from capturing data by tapping into any of your cables, routers, switches, WIFI access points or hubs.

Please, if anything is wrong with the information in this post, let me know.
