I have tried this but run into problems:
- Real hubs are (almost?) impossible to get nowadays. Even the cheapest
"hub" is really a switch. If you know where I can find a hub-like network
component, then I'll order it right away.
- I was able to buy the last real hub from a PC-shop, but it was only
10Mbps and it refused to work with my 100Mb cards and switches.
A few nice sniffer componentens are described in the book:
"Extrusion Detection: Security Monitoring for Internal Intrusions"
but these are not cheap.
