There are a growing number of warnings from various sources regarding the security threats associated with cable modems. This paper focuses primarily on the threat of malicious users sniffing on a cable modem network. Most of these warnings about sniffing cable modem networks emphasize the fact that the physical media employed by the cable modem network is a shared medium. I contend that these warnings are unfounded. In order to substantiate my claim that network sniffing on a cable modem network is a negligible threat, I will cover some basic details on network sniffing and cable modem networks. Once the reader has a basic foundation of these two topics, a discussion of their technological relationship will be covered. This discussion will demonstrate the possibilities of network sniffing on a cable modem network.
