It is a way of dealing with, and ultimately succeeding in, an uncertain and turbulent environment. This method is chosen due to the sole reason that it responds to changes favorably. There is no need to restart a phase when a change needs to be implemented.

1.8 Organization of the Study
This study is developed under five chapters. The first chapter introduces the research topic, stating the background of the intended project, statement of the problems, project objectives, its significance to the society and overall scope. The second chapter reviews related literature on sniffing. It analyses previous research works, their limitations and need for the development of better detection and prevention system. The third chapter discusses the methodology used for the project development, the limitations of the currently used detection system and reasons the intended system should be chosen over the current system. It also showcases the design processes of the new system. Chapter four showcases the actual running of the developed system. Here proper tests are done to check the strength of the developed system. The developed system is analyzed to determine its conformation with the stated objectives. Chapter five gives the summary of the project, gives the conclusion and recommends approaches for better system.
