How do you recognize VPN devices?


If this network is not switched, and if you have a box on that network, you
can just sniff traffic.  Key exchange is a very brief process; once the keys
are exchanged, the VPN is established and there is no need for further key
exchange.  Depending on the type of VPN (active or tunneling), you would be
able to recognize VPN devices by simply looking for packets which use
protocols 50 (ESP, for encapsulating the pay load) and 51 (AH, for
authentication of the header)
