Lim,

Ettercap is another (linux/win version also available) utility that 
will sniff traffic across switches/routers.  It also has an option to 
detect anyone else poisoning the lan as well.

Subject: Sniffing in switched network




Hello,



I've read through some documentation about sniffing the

switched network. There are some arp-cache methods to

discover a sniffing host (switched or "normal" network

is not important here I think), if it is the switched

network will I get the result I want, or first I have

to become a  sniffer also (i.e. arp-poison the switch

cache) - to get the responses that will tell me who is

the sniffer?



Most documentation I read is somewhat old (2 years), is

everything aleady well known and described in this

subject or are there any running projects? 



Thanks for help,



Norbert
