Re: Promiscuous mode detection

If you cut the transmit wires on the cable the sniffer will be
undetectable. Moral of the story, there is no substitute for physical
security. However, if someone is sniffing the network, you must assume
one of two things: 1. It's a lamer with too much time on his hands.
2. The data has value. If it is #2 then the data must be retrieved
physically or transmitted outbound from your net to a destination.
This is where the fun starts.
