Below are my port scanners/packer sniffers of choice.

Port Scanners:

Packet Sniffers
Dsniff comes with a suite of tools (i.e. mailsnarf, msgsnarf, webspy, macof, etc.). It's good for sniffing authentication, snmp, web, mail, chat traffic.

Ngrep
Ngrep recognizes TCP, UDP and ICMP across Ethernet, PPP, SLIP, FDDI, Token Ring and null interfaces, and understands bpf filter logic in the same fashion as more common packet sniffing tools, such as tcpdump and snoop. ngrep: http://prdownloads.sf.net/ngrep/

Ettercap
Ettercap is a multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN. Supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones) and includes many feature for network and host analysis. ettercap: http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/
