[Ethereal-Users] sniffing theory

["Rick Farina" <farinard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a really odd question.  If I am using linux, and block ALL outgoing
AND incoming traffic with iptables, can I still sniff?  I would assume not,
but promisc does have some odd features.  If this would work, is there a
disadvantage to this?
Thanks
