Re: [FW-1] sniffing network



I ran a check with an app called anasyl and this completely freaked out with
"sniffer found" alerts, and these are reported to be on users mahines
("normal users")

        Chances are these users are using YOUR DNS servers.
        You could spoof a ping sweep over all your subnets from an address
like
        10.10.10.10 or whatever.
        Then grep your dns logs for anyone attempting reverse lookups on
that
        address, lots of sniffers are left in mode where they try to resolve
        IP's to hostnames as a feature.

        Most legit sniffers will broadcast a sniffer active frame.

        What led you to believe you have sniffers running outside of
        administrative controls?
