Do you have any examples or links to such scanner/sniffers if any are
available as share/freeware ?

                Want to have some fun, run the usual scanner/sniffer
programs in your
                'neighborhood' or just listen to wins broadcasts.

                But actually the original poster broke one of the to 10
rules of
                security.
                Never assume someone else, who has no interest in your
security, is
                providing it (especially see comment about cable providers
below).

                The only thing you should assume is that RJ45 coming out of
that box is
                wide open, and go from there.

                >Every provider I've spoken with immediately investigates
*all* reports
                of 
                >customers probing other customers.  If you've got concrete
examples of 
                >those who could "care less", I'd like to know who and
where.

                Ever have someone at <The-Cable-Industry> do anything or
give a damn
