RE: Counter detect Network Sniffer

If the sniffer is running like this, they're not going to see anything they
don't participate in.  It's not a sniffer if they aren't in promiscuous
mode.

Hi,

It may also not work if sniffer was ran non-promiscuously  
(i.e. snoop -P)? Is there a way to detect such sniffers? Thanks.
