sniffers
Organs for smelling
Sniffers are devices or software that detect or monitor something.
A network sniffer captures data packets traveling across a computer network—used legitimately for troubleshooting or maliciously for intercepting passwords.
Drug sniffers are dogs trained to detect narcotics by smell.
Informally, sniffers can mean the nose: My sniffers are stuffed up.
