In fact, there are a way to detect that your interface is in promiscous
mode (needed for sniffing other machines). Search bugtraq archives for
more, I don't remember exactly where it is. And about local machine - if
anyone got to run sniffer there, you have much bigger trouble, since
sniffers are run as root ;) But there's much simpler way t detect it -
just looking on ifconfig output should suffice.
And then - use ssh instead of telnet, and if you are paranoid - scp
instead of ftp, et cetera.
