Network intrusions are illegal, but detection and enforcement are difficult.
Current law is limited and many intrusions go undetected. The cracker can bypass existing password protection by creating a program to capture logon IDs and passwords. Password Sniffers Password sniffers are programs that monitor and record the name and password of network users as they log in, jeopardizing security at a site. Whoever installs the sniffer can then impersonate an authorized user and log in to access restricted documents. Laws are not yet set up to adequately prosecute a person for impersonating another person on-line, but laws designed to prevent unauthorized access to information may be effective in apprehending crackers using sniffer programs.
