What ways do hackers employ to gain access to data travelling a network?

I have been learning about ARP Poising using cain and abel, but I am interested in other ways this can be done.

basically, but they can all be subdivided.

DOS and dDOS. dDOS can also be done non-maliciously e.g the slashdot effect

Get some CEH Prep guides - those books are good for listing lots of tools.

You can also head over to insecure.org and view the list of tools they have there to see if there's anything else you might've missed.
If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked.
What's more, you deserve to be hacked.
