Cyber Security term 27: Password Sniffing

Password Sniffing is the process of intruding between a transfer of data packets which encompasses the password. The process is performed by a software application called Password Sniffer which captures the data packets which contains password and stores it for illegal and bad purposes.

So, if I want to explain it a bit easier than it’s like you are passing something to another person and a password sniffer intrudes and intercepts it before it reaches to the other person.
