.SNIFFER File Extension

The sniffer file extension was used by an old program called Sniffer, discontinued in 2004 and formerly developed and sold by the Network Associates (now known as McAfee). Sniffer was probably some sort of computer security software.

.SNIFFER file format is deprecated and this file format is no longer supported.

Currently, .SNIFFER file type is not actively used and is obsolete. This usually happens with system files in older operating systems, files from long-discontinued software, or with previous versions of some file types (documents, projects, images, etc.) that were replaced in later versions of the original programs.

How to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .sniffer file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
