Is there any program that could detect network is being sniffed. It simply
comes to detecting promiscuous mode of the card, but how to do it? I have
heard that it is done with the right IP address but wrong MAC address.
Something similar has ben developed by <URL:"http://www.l0pht.com">, but for
Win32, Solaris and BSD platforms. Are there any Linux solutions.

The only way you could detect the sniffer is if he injected packets
back on the wire. Otherwise he is just recieving and invisible.

Hi,

There is a program called neped.c which does this. Look for this
filename on ftpsearch.
