There are a few options.
1. Most likely it will leak information (STUN, NAT-PMP, etc.).
2. You could look obvious signs of NATted traffic. (e.g. re-use of the same
source port number to different destinations from the box, etc.)
3. You can look at the TTL or Hop-Count on packets coming out of the box.
Most NAT routers (I believe DD-WRT included, IIRC) do still decrement
the TTL/Hop-Count (v4/v6) when passing the packet.
4. NMAP the device… DD-WRT will usually look strikingly different from most
desktop hosts.
I’m sure there are other ways, but those are the first 4 that spring to mind.
Each
could be defeated by a particularly careful/clever implementer, but in an
enterprise,
usually it makes little sense to go to that much trouble to violate policy.
Universities
are an exception as that’s a whole different set of equations on risk/benefit.
