Hi all-

Can anyone give me the name of or a link to a HUB that I can use for network packet analysis? Not something with switched ports and routing tables, I want a simple, dumb, broadcasting hub. I can't find one to save my life.

Thanks ~ k

Standard hubs have been getting pretty hard to find lately. You always have the option of making your own tap: http://www.altsec.info/passive-network-tap.html

I've used that design successfully several times.

What about setting up tapping ports on switches? As long as the network is not really under load (which it shouldn't be if you consider using a hub there) it usually works pretty well.
