hi!

Whats the real difference between the berkeley packet filter and
promiscuous mode?

Any URLs explaining that?

Also, what about detecting some folks using that from an administrative
point of view, e.g. running some software like Antisniff?

BTW: Which mechanisms one can use to "fake" MAC entries on (preferrable)
Linux systems, and how to detect them?

On our dorm network some students do some things that, seen from an
administrative point of view, needs to get some ... measures...


Regards
Olaf Hoyer
