Promqry can accurately determine if a modern (Windows 2000 and later) managed Windows
system has network interfaces in promiscuous mode. If a system has network interfaces in
promiscuous mode, it may indicate the presence of a network sniffer running on the system.
Promqry version 1.0 usage Queries system(s) for interfaces running in promiscuous mode
To query local system's interfaces run:
promqry.exe
notes: returns zero if any interfaces found in promiscuous mode
-returns 1 if no interfaces found in promiscuous mode
-returns 99 if error encountered
-np and -nv options are not valid for local query
To query a remote system's interfaces run:
promqry.exe remote_IP | remote_name [-nv]
notes: returns zero if any interfaces found in promiscuous mode
-returns 1 if no interfaces found in promiscuous mode
-returns 99 if error encountered
-nv means no verbose output, only reports errors and systems with interfaces in promiscuous mode
To query a range of remote systems' interfaces run:
promqry.exe start_remote_IP:end_remote_IP [-np] [-nv]
notes: start_remote_IP must be lower than end_remote_IP
-np means no ping before query
-np only valid when querying range of systems
