Explanation

Hunt is a Linux-based tool specifically designed for both passive network sniffing and active TCP session hijacking - it can monitor connections and inject data or take over established sessions between two hosts. Tripwire is a file integrity monitoring tool, not a sniffer. IPChains is a Linux firewall/packet filtering tool. 'Ethercap' (likely referring to Ettercap) is primarily a man-in-the-middle/sniffing tool, but Hunt is the classic dual-purpose answer for sniffing combined with direct session hijacking in CEH exam contexts.
