If you are a cracker, you try to take down the other system someway. Duplicate MAC-adresses (the hardware adress of your device) or duplicate IP adresses are very hard to determine - ar least in my expirience. A big segment with PCs and a lot of curios and "skilled" users can be hell. And shooting them or cutting off fingers is considered as unprofessionel. :-< If someone is root on his system, how do you stop him from reading pakets? There is no way to tell a packet to avoid being read by tcpdump - or am I confused? You can scan and search cards in promicuos mode, but this leads back to shooting and cutting fingers. Or you can buy cards which dont provide this feature - this exists for token ring.
