How would you go about detecting what NIC's are in promiscuous mode?  Is
there some sort of mass ping to find such a thing out?

If you are on the same sub-net the only way would be to find out who has
there NIC in promiscous mode. If its out on the web AFAIK its not possible.

Sniffing is a passive "attack" and is very hard to detect. If you are worred
about someone sniffing you passwords the i would recomend implementing some
form of encryption to prevent this.
That is the best way to stop someone from watching what you send.
