PromiScan is a sniffing node detection tool and has been used worldwide ever
since its release. Promiscan is one of the tools mentioned in the 2003 SANS/FBI
Top 20. PromiScan 3.0 (commercial version) has improved its monitoring
capabilities by providing continuous monitoring to detect promiscuous
applications starting and ending without increasing the network load. Today,
many examples of information leaks from corporations can be seen in recent
headlines and potential network sniffing by malicious insiders could represent a
significant threat to many corporations. Network sniffing enables listeners to
listen in on all network communications and to obtain passwords to gain
unauthorized access to a server, which could result in divulging
mission-critical corporate data. Still, no effective measures to prevent network
sniffing have been implemented to date. By simply activating sniffing software,
an individual with malicious intent can passively accept all packets, regardless
of their destination addresses, without sending any suspicious packets. For this
reason, it's extremely difficult to detect sniffers. PromiScan 3.0 is an
innovative application software for remotely monitoring computers on local
networks to locate network interfaces operating in a promiscuous mode that
illegally accepts all packets. PromiScan 3.0 continuously monitors traffic to
detect sniffing programs starting and ending and alert the administrator. By
installing PromiScan 3.0, you can detect network sniffing immediately and can
even prevent potential sniffing activities by people inside your intranet.
Cyclic
scanning In the Cyclic Scan mode, you can perform cyclic scanning to
monitor network interface state changes. In this mode, network interface
state changes caused by starting or ending a network analyzer such as
Ethereal can be detected to obtain more reliable detection results.
Slow
scanning supported Scanning speed can be selected. Making it higher
allows you to scan your network without adding any additional network
load.
Logging
In the Cyclic Scan mode, network interface state changes can be browsed
and written into a log file. This log file can be viewed by the other
systems.
Node
Viewer Network interface state changes of specified computers can be
displayed in chronological order for monitoring.
Warning
Window When you are in the Cyclic Scan mode, if a network interface
state change caused by starting and ending a promiscuous application is
detected, a warning window pops up.
Logging
with SYSLOG If you use SYSLOG for logging data, PromiScan installed
in two or more segments can be monitored at a central location with
commercial SYSLOG monitor software, thus enabling centralized network
monitoring.
