Not sure but somebody else may have said this.

You could employ an IP level encryption using IPSec or tunnel your data
through SSH to another machine that they aren't going to be sniffing and
then to the internet?

Then atleast whilst you try and solve who's sniffing your packets, you will
be secure

Hello Folks,
I think i am being sniffed by somone on my network, and i was wondering.
is
there an application to check wether i am being sniffed or not, and if i
was, how can i fix that ?(like PGP for mail, what about other protocols)

P.S. : Running Linux Slackware 8.1 (if that would help)

cheers,
Fadi R. Khouja
