ChatSniff is an easy to use program for Linux that monitors, or "sniffs" networks for AIM, MSN, Yahoo! and Jabber instant messages.

It requires recent versions of python, python-gtk2, python-glade2, and tethereal.
python-pyao (for sound) and gksu are optional, but recommended (the packages require them).

Moved to single instance of tethereal

Help dialog now reflects reality
No more ugly empty space above first packet
Sundry minor tweaks
