Since all sniffers I know of are passive devices, there really shouldn't be
a way to track one down. From a Cisco standpoint, if I were mirroring a
port, and had a sniffer mirroring the sniffer port, I would see traffic of a
unicast nature with multiple unicast MAC destinations destined at a
swithport with only one MAC address cached.

Subject: sniffer/promisc detector


Subject says it all. Someone asked the other day here for sniffers. Any
progress or suggestions for programs that detect cards in promisc mode or
sniffing traffic?
