We've looked at buying an ethernet sniffer, and the cost is pretty amazing. Several alternatives have come to mind. One is to do software from scratch, which would be a lot of work. Anybody done simple promiscuous ethernet stuff for BSD, Ultrix or Suns? Another idea is to take one of our old Sun-2s and run an analysis tool onto etherfind. Anybody ever done this? If there's sufficient interest I'll summarize to the net.
