with your given URL... he used 2 network cards inside its sniffer server plus a network tap... he can still sniff packets inside his sniffer server without using a network tap.. the simplest thing to do is to let the two network cards act as a "bridge" as shown below: [host A nic 1] <-----> [nic 1 sniffer server nic 2] <----> [nic 1 host B] bridge is on layer 2 and it doesnt need an IP address thus it is transparent between host A and B... but still i can sniff packets between host A and B without using a sniffer server as shown above as long as there is another host joining on the same network segment of host A and B in a switch environment... fooler. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
