Sniffing passwords from same network(Lan) using Cain and Abel tool

Image result for Sniffing passwords from same network(Lan) using Cain and Abel tool
First install the tool Cain And Able form here.
Download Cain & Abel from tools section
Step 1:Please turn off the windows firewall or any other third party firewall so that all the packets are captured efficiently.
Step 2:Open Cain and Abel tool
Step 3:Goto -> Sniffer Tab and click Configure in the main menu to configure your packet listening adapter.
Step 4:Select the appropriate network adapter for your network that you want to sniff the packets for plain-text passwords. And Click Ok.
Step 5:Click the Green Adapter icon as shown below. This means that you just configured the adapter and now you are turning it ON.
Step 6:Now select the APR tab below as shown and now first click on the right side upper pane area. When you click that area the blue plus (“+”) icon will get enabled. Press that blue plus (“+”) icon.
Step 7:This is very interesting step. Now we need to select the router`s IP address and click ok. This means that we want to listen to every packet that is sent to router. If we select any other IP address in our LAN network then we can listen to only that particular HOST on the network. Since the router responds to all the request of HOSTS connected in a LAN. Thus we can listen to all the HOSTs.
Step 8:Now click the Yellow Circle icon as shown. This means that we are starting ARP poisoning.
Step 9:We can see that in the upper right panel there is an IP address of our router and when we press that Yellow Circle icon (button), it performs ARP poisoning.
Step 10:Now click the password tab which is at the bottom. We can see that we are getting passwords of HTTP i.e. plain text session in our LAN network.

What is Port (computer networking)

In the internet protocol suite, a port is an endpoint of communication in an operating system. While the term is also used for female connectors on hardware devices (see computer port), in software it is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type of network service. A port is always associated with an IP address of a host and the protocol type of the communication, and thus completes the destination or origination network address of a communication session. A port is identified for each address and protocol by a 16-bit number, commonly known as the port number. For example, an address may be 'protocol: TCP, IP address: 1.2.3.4, port number: 80', which may be written 1.2.3.4:80 when the protocol is known from context. Specific port numbers are often used to identify specific services. _________________________

What is a localhost ?

In computer networking, localhost is a hostname that means this computer. It is used to access the network services that are running on the host via its loopback network interface. Using the loopback interface bypasses any local network interface hardware. The local loopback mechanism is useful for testing software during development, independently of any networking configurations. For example, if a computer has been configured to provide a website, directing a locally running web browser to http://localhost may display its home page. On most computer systems, localhost resolves to the IP address 127.0.0.1, which is the most commonly used IPv4 loopback address, and to the IPv6 loopback address. _________________________

What is Back Door?

A back door is generally a piece of code intentionally left by the developer of the software or firmware that allows access without going through the normal security process. Back doors may also be the result of different malware/virus attacks that leave a method for remote, unsecured access into a device once the malicious code has been executed. _________________________
