  This tool is solely for wireless only. There is another one around... but whatever it is, you will need Winpcap on Windows (it's a packet capturing library) or libpcap on Linux. Mac is Unix system as well... should be using lipcap... not too sure.
  
  For Linux, compile and run the codes. For Windows, download the .EXE file.
  
  Try it on your home network rather than outside. I don't guarantee that you won't be caught.

  If you own a wireless router and currently on subscription of a broadband connection, you can try "unsecuring" your home wireless network and see if anyone tries to use your connection to surf the net. And of course, if there is, try it out on him/her, lol.
  
  Anyway, don't dwell into such stuff for too long - everyone deserves their privacy. I hope you are taking this out of curiosity to learn about networking and not on how to stalk on others etc.
