Re: Caching a sniffer

Hi,

How can i know if there a sniffer running in my network?

In the Good Old Days(tm), at LAN parties, we used to send out garbled
packets (that would make Windows' IP stack crash) to a nonexistant
hardware address, then looked who got a bluescreen. Of course, this
makes sense only in unswitched networks, which are rather seldom
nowadays.
