Re: [inbox] undetectable NIC in promiscuous mode

Roger,
    I presume that there's some kind of "obvious" reason why you can't just
plug-in a no-name, el cheapo, hub?

That's basically the setup here:

although it's a branded hub (that was quite expensive at the time!) that
became surplus when I went to a switched network.

(Please note that, in the photograph, there're only the Cable Modem and
Router cables attached; the Ethereal box was acting as a load box for some
performance testing work I was doing..)

Been working perfectly for the last few years..

Regards,

Ian

4.  Buy a Ethernet tap...works like charm.

5.  Buy an intelligent switch and do port mirroring (aka port trunking,
port spanning, MIB management, remote management console, etc.).
