The Throwing Star LAN Tap is a passive Ethernet tap, thus requiring no external power supply and maintaining maximum mobility and operability. From a network perspective, it then appears as just a piece of wire.
The Throwing Star LAN Tap is equipped with two RJ-45 connectors for pass-through network traffic and two RJ-45 monitoring connectors. The monitoring ports have blocked send lines, so no accidental or inadvertent transmissions to the monitored network can occur.
The device is designed for monitoring 10/100 Mbit networks. When connected to a Gbit network, traffic will be slowed to typically 100BASETX so that traffic can be passively monitored. Using this device even in a 10/100 Mbit network may degrade the quality of the traffic.
One of the popular tools such as Wireshark or tcpdump can then be used to capture and analyze the network traffic.
Warning
This device is designed for experienced professionals in the field of IT management and IT security. Its use requires the expertise and consent of the infrastructure owner.
