Im currently at work and I cant thing Of the name of the ap that does
it, but it will start "screaming" anytime a "new" MAC addy enters the
network....that includes sniffing.

I think you're thinking of promisc mode. RFMON mode = no association, no broadcast.

It will also start yelling about cloned MACs ...so no spoofing either.

RFMON = silence, a black hole if you will.


I hope that answered your question. If the name of the app really
matters email me back personally with the word PINGYWON as the subject
.....and i'll find it

I'm interested, please supply link here. If the app is for promisc devices, I'm 
still very curious; new info for me...

Thank you,
