The Attached src should do what you ask
the attached source only detects interfaces in promiscuous mode on the local machine. this can be accomplished by doing % echo "interface(s)" `ifconfig -a | grep -B3 PROMISC | grep -i mtu | cut -d' ' -f1` "are in promiscuous mode" and reading the one line of output. remove the -B3 to deal with just about every other flavor unix. is what you really want, bruce, something that will detect them remotely? that's a lot harder...kinda like trying to guess if the person sitting next to you is eavesdropping on your phone conversation. -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior () daemon org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet () graffiti com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew () crossbar com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
