I am just wondering what data does the ethreal captures? Is it just the amount of data that flows in the internal networks or it does capture the data on internet as well. Does it keep the trace of amazon or ebay passorwd ? hotmail yahoo and other chattings?

What is ethreal for? Well I have installed one and I do analyse the traffic and data but I don't know anyhing beside that, I don't know the purpose and why I am doing I just know I am network student.

Any help , so that i could spend more time on that.
