A Study of Distributed Network Sniffing and Attacks, Otherwise Known as “Echelon”

whitepaper Most of these sniffers are detectable, but a few use strong encryption, secure protocols, and/or promiscuous mode packet filtering which make them very hard to detect. Since packet sniffing is, in essence, spying, many states have laws against...
