Hello Karthik , I have been following your answers and remarks for some time now and wonder what your goal / reason behind this search for sniffer detection is? the whole nature of sniffing, it being a passive action, means that it is in principle not possible to detect remotely (some exceptions as mentioned, but those don't detect sniffers but detect a certain network card setting and can also be fooled.) for the rest i agree with ronnie, it seems you don't want people to snif in your network. well in my opinion you wont be able to stop them if you cant restrict total physical access to your network or use something like NAC. still due to the nature of switches they wont be able to pick up much useful information (again exceptions are possible). if you worry so much about someone sniffing on your network you should ask yourself what they shouldn't be able to see and for example encrypt that traffic. oh and linux kernel 2.2.10 is like 10 years old, i doubt you will encounter it often any more. greetings, bart ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
