No root, no promiscuous mode, no sniffer. 2) Use switches instead of hubs. You can't sniff a packet that doesn't reach your NIC. 3) Only hire people who don't know enough about networking to do things like that. Unfortunately, most companies seem to rely entirely on #3. -- With the arrest of Dimitry Sklyarov it has become apparent that it is not safe for non US software engineers to visit the United States. - Alan Cox "To prevent unauthorized reading..." - Adobe eBook reader license
