check your system to see if its running in promiscuious mode. Sniffers
throw the net into that mode. you can check by running ifconfig or if you
have CPM on your machine you can run that..Also, since I'm posting I
think I'll introduce myself. I've been on the list for about 2 weeks now.
I've been using computers most of my life, but I'm just getting into the
field of security. I've been learning/doing security for about 1 year now..
