Hello, (Stealth ethernet saga continues) Well, after much ado, it seems quite easy (trivial) to hide an ethernet interface, while being able to collect reems of local ethernet traffic based data, from both snort and ethereal. Here's the normal ethernet interace on a portable: /sbin/ifconfig -a

Hello, For a variety of reasons, I need to be able to make an ethernet interface on a gentoo system, change into listen only (stealth mode). Kind of like half duplex, so to speak. Any simple tricks? Just disabling all responses from the ethernet interface would do. I know I can just use 'ifconfi
