PromiScan Ver 0.20

1.  What is PromiScan?

This is software searches for promiscuous nodes on the local net. It does not create a heavy load on the network. And, PromiScan quickly searches for promiscuous nodes. Finding a promiscuous node is very difficult. In many cases, the result is not certain. The node likely to be a promiscuous node is quickly listed by PromiScan. The listed nodes are clearly visible. And, you can find the nodes that promiscuous mode are not permitted. PromiScan is very useful for security management of a local network.
