Yes, I didn't say otherwise; but unless the switch is security 
unfriendly and stupid mode settable (like you're describing), 
They won't just be hardlining into a free port and watching traffic 
on the other ones. Not directly, anyhow. Unless either configuration 
changes are made, OR, your WAN side connection is tied into a hub 
just before that switch you wanna snoop traffic on. So it's 
computers, switch/router, hub, internet. (very basic for everyone 
reading, poohskie). Tap into HUB, snoop away.

I was wrong? How is modifying a switch that might have extra features 
any different than swapping out for an outright HUB? The result is 
easier with a HUB. If you don't change default settings (if the 
switch even offers it) that switch isn't going to let you hardline 
into port 1 and watch traffic on the other ports it has. 

A switch, by default (unless you can prove me wrong here) is going to 
do exactly what I initially said. If you hardline into port 1, you 
aren't going to be sniffing traffic on ports 2,3,4,etc. Period. Like 
I ####ing said, originally. Wifi is limited too. You can do some 
sniffing, but if the wifi seperates hardline LAN from wifi 
connections; you won't be seeing the hardline comms, like I said, 
again.

Why do you even try this bull####? People can google about this #### 
themselves, dumbass.
