RE: detecting a sniff application

["Hicks, John" <JHicks () JUSTICE GC CA>]

IMHO, thats not what snort is designed to do. I use promiscan to detect
sniffing nodes.

Subject: [Snort-users] detecting a sniff application


Hello,
 
is Snort capable of detecting a sniff application on a network, or an
Internet segment. 
Is it capable of detecting whether someone is intruding or sniffing a DSL
line for an internet user?
