3. Introduction
The primary purpose of a sniffer is to find misplaced mobile devices. Every
day, thousands of mobile phones are misplaced or lost. Although the
manufacturers of the mobile devices have implemented an effective method
to block the lost mobile to stop unauthorized individuals from placing and
receiving calls, there has been very little advancement in the field of
misplaced mobile phone detection. SNIFFER is essential for finding
misplaced mobile devices.

4. What is “Sniffer” ?
A "sniffer" refers to a tool or program that is used to capture
and analyze network data traffic. It is also known as a
"packet sniffer" or "network sniffer." The primary purpose of
a sniffer is to intercept and log network traffic for various
purposes, including network troubleshooting, security
analysis, and monitoring.

Software Hardware

6. Software Sniffer
 Packet Capture: Software sniffers operate by capturing data packets as they
traverse a network.
 Network Interface: The sniffer interacts with the network interface of a device,
allowing it to access and intercept the data packets passing through the network.
 Promiscuous Mode: In this mode, the interface captures all incoming and
outgoing packets, not just those intended for the device.
 Packet Analysis: This analysis can be used for various purposes, including
network troubleshooting, monitoring, and security.
 Display and Logging: Sniffers may also log the captured data for later review or
analysis.

Physical Connection: They may be inserted between network devices or connected to a network tap.
Data Interception: Some hardware sniffers can capture and store large volumes of data for in-depth analysis.
Analysis and Processing: Hardware sniffers often have built-in processors for real-time analysis of captured
packets. They may perform filtering, protocol decoding, and other tasks to extract meaningful information.
Output Interface: The results of the analysis can be presented through various output interfaces, such as a
display screen or network connection for remote monitoring.
Logging and Storage: Like software sniffers, hardware sniffers may have the capability to log and store
captured data for later examination.

8. Primary goals
 Finding lost mobiles effectively.
 Cost Effective.
 Low power Consumption.
 Easy to Design.

9. Application

 Traffic Monitoring and Issue Identification: A sniffer is a program designed to
monitor and analyze network traffic to identify bottlenecks and other issues.
 Legal and Illegal Use: Sniffers can be used both legally and illegally. Legitimate
uses involve monitoring and troubleshooting network issues.
 Router Functionality: Network routers play a crucial role in determining the path
of each data packet within a network.
 Address and Content Reading: Sniffer-equipped routers can read information
such as source and destination addresses and the actual content of data packets.
 Preventing Traffic Issues: Sniffers are employed on academic networks to avoid
congestion caused by file-sharing programs.

10. Areas of focus
The power of the mobile phone should be sufficient, it
shouldn’t be in the shadow region, etc. are some of the
boundary requirements or criteria that must be met for the
identification of the lost mobile. this approach can be
enhanced by employing current technologies and
equipment.

11. Summary
this most popular devices in the sphere of communication since technological growth
is the mobile phone. Many mobile phones are forgotten or lost for various causes,
hence this study serves as the foundation for the Sniffer Technology for Detecting
Mobile Phones. Sniffer base station, unidirectional antenna, and software for tracking
procedure were the three primary parts we used for this process. The antenna's
design is crucial because detection is correctly dependent on signal intensity or
directivity, with detection occurring in the same general direction as where the signal
strength is greatest.
