Ethernet sniff.

I suspect that someone is using a sniffer on my Ethernet connection,

OS X 10.3.9, DSL,

ok, I'm in terminal using the "ifconfig" command >

flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST>mtu 16384

right, it's not in "promiscuous mode", but i think it's Trojaned, can anyone point me in the direction of a tool to directly test the network interface to see if it's in promisc mode.
Thank you. Happy Christmas

I don't know anything about OS X - it's Linux-like so it should allow you to run intrusion detection - i.e., snort.

If your system has one thing changed, you can bet there are other problems - snort is a great tool.
