Because a Hub broadcasts packets to every single port, so this feature makes it a great alternative to port mirroring or SPAN. A network engineer can simple plug in the source port, destination port and his laptop to the hub and can capture packet and troubleshoot in real time without causing any outage or downtime. But this process requires physical access to the devices.
A Hub is outdated and insecure device but why every network engineer should have one?
