Just last week I tried a little program called "ifstatus" on Solaris. The program is designed to run from cron so that only if an interface is in promiscuous mode, it will print out a warning message. Here is a snippet from its manual page: DESCRIPTION Ifstatus checks all network interfaces on the system, and reports any that are in debug or promiscuous mode, which may be a sign of unauthorized access to the system. You can get it from ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu /pub/tools/unix/ifstatus/ When you compile it for Linux you need to edit Makefile like this: -------------------------- cut here ------------------------ --- Makefile.orig Mon Sep 21 14:38:43 1998 +++ Makefile Mon May 3 00:33:03 1999 @@ -43,8 +43,8 @@ # SUNOS55 -lkvm -lelf -lnsl -lsocket # SUNOS56 -lkvm -lelf -lnsl -lsocket # -OSNAME= SUNOS55 -LIBS= -lkvm -lelf -lnsl -lsocket +OSNAME= BSD +LIBS=# -lkvm -lelf -lnsl -lsocket # # Change BINDIR, MANDIR, and MANSUF if you want.
