DroidSniff is another application developed for wrongdoing that is being sold as a tool that serves the user the purpose of checking the security level of their wireless networks. Nothing is further from reality: with this app, it is very much possible to steal credentials and passwords from users connected to a Wi-Fi network.

In this case, the app has been developed to steal user data from social networks such as Instagram or Facebook. It works by spoofing, redirecting these users to a dummy URL where they enter their login details, thus capturing their information. It is one of the most common methods around for stealing data.
But of course, we all know that you're going to use this app for lawful purposes ... those being, just to verify that your network is indeed completely secure and that you need have no fear of any security risk of this type.
