Hey,
I have a question regarding running a NIC card in promiscuous mode
without any protocols bound to it.
Scenario is, we want to place a "monitoring" machine on our internal
network to watch things, the idea arose to put a second NIC in the box to
put in our DMZ (*Sort of like dual homing the machine, but without any
protocols bound to it*).
Now, being the security "cop" this rose several red flags for me while my
mind was screaming out "no way in hell!" but I couldn't come up with one
solid reason as to why not, so they want to go ahead with it.
What I'm looking for from some of you more knowledgeable gurus is a
reason not to let this happen, or reassurances from you as to why this isn't
a problem, as my synapses are all screaming at me like spider man!!!
;-)
