A Live Messenger Sniffer (often referred to as an MSN Sniffer) is a type of packet-sniffing software designed to silently intercept, read, and log chat conversations traveling across a Local Area Network (LAN). It gained prominence during the peak of Microsoft’s legacy chat clients (MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger), which natively transmitted messages in unencrypted, plain text. Because the software operates passively by monitoring the network card, it requires absolutely no installation on the target’s computer to capture their data.
