Network sniffers are always bad news
SwitchSniff. For those who think switched Ethernet environments are sniff-proof, the author offers this warning. [Linux Journal]Got to remember to check the switches settings and documentation next time I'm around a server room. Come to think of it, in manageable switches, SNMP communities might be a little too talkative. Checking hosts for network interfaces in promiscuous mode on a regular basis, with a tool like ifpromisc from the chkrootkit suite may not be a bad idea as well (ifconfig might be compromised already - or is this paranoia ?). 4:05:11 PM  comments:
