Hi Fadi,

First I would check, which network adapters in your
lan supports the promiscous mode (which a sniffer
always uses)

I know, that there are some tools for examining where
the sniffing actions came from (sniffit e.g.) but i
guess they are only made for solaris systems.

Cheers,

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
