Interception and monitoring of network traffic between two cloud nodes is known as?

• A. Packet Sniffers
• B. DNS Spoofing
• C. Network Sniffing
• D. ARP Spoofing

Answer: (C)

Intercepting and monitoring network traffic between two cloud nodes describes the activity of network sniffing. Sniffing is capturing the data packets moving across a network so you can inspect their contents, timing, and flow. In cloud environments, this might involve placing a capture point or using monitoring tools to observe inter-node traffic to assess security, performance, or troubleshooting.

Tools that perform this task are packet sniffers, which is why that term appears relevant, but the broader concept is the act of sniffing — capturing and analyzing the traffic itself. DNS spoofing and ARP spoofing refer to specific attacker techniques that can enable sniffing or redirect traffic, but they describe methods, not the general interception and analysis of traffic between nodes.
