This is a great program. I like it. Will it tell me when network adapters of other computers are in promiscous mode?

I don't think so. As far as I know, having a card in promiscuous mode doesn't alter the packets in any way, so local access is the only way to tell.

You have other programs for detecting if cards on other machines are in Promiscous mode....Sentinel is one...I have never used it...and I think PromiScan is a tool on Windows which does this...I wouldnt vouch for its reliability though...

A nice paper though...on ur stuff...

I like Dan kaminsky's tools, Paketto Keiretsu 1.10. It's pretty cool and can do some amazing things. It's also quick....I suggest reading the documentation.
