Just remember that dsniff is one-way arp spoofing ... and can have funny
results in windows environments ...

Hi all

Pardon me for correcting your mistake.
1) Set your card to promiscuous mode. (passive-mode)
2) Dsniff comes with arp poisoning i think.

Dsniff will (by default) try to set the NIC to permicuous 
mode, and it 
functions like a regular sniffer.

So:
1) You need an administrator account to sniff traffic and set 
permicuous mode
2) It can sniff any traffic that ends up at your network 
card.  So if 
you're on a hub, you see everything plugged into it, and on a switch 
you just see your own traffic, or any traffic routed through 
you.  It 
doesn't use ARP poisoning, you would have to do that yourself (with 
ettercap or nemesis or something).

Hope that helps,

Can DSNIFF's utilities (ie:  urlsnarf)  work in a LAN, 
regardless of 
the permissions you have on the target PC correct?  Does it 
employ arp 
poisoning to accomplish this?

Any tips for usage?  I've heard it's not as stable on the 
win32 platform.
Thanks
