hi ya

i was playing over the weekend .. 
looking at various sniffer detectors to see what it finds

#
# Problem was to find any/all sniffers on the local subnet
# from the playing i did, they'd still remain hidden while sniffing
#

i was running some sniffers of various flavors on various machines
        ( debian, slackware, redhat - various versions )
        tcpdump, ethereal, pfilt.pl, pl00000.pl (debian mailing list)
        .. etc ..

        pfilt.pl working the best and easiest to get running, which
        recreates a human readable file of the sniffed incoming emails

        - none of the ethernet cards was in promiscuous mode
        and was still sniffable

some of the psuedo sniffer detectors i played with:
( most all of these didn't find any of the sniffers running )
        cpm             -- no *.deb
        ifstat          -- no *.deb
        ifstatus2       -- no *.deb
        kstat           -- no *.deb
        neped.c         -- no *.deb, but works nicely
        sentinel        -- no *.deb
        sniffdet        -- no *.deb

urls for the above ...
