How must a NIC (network interface) be set in order to be able to password sniff?
Ad hoc mode
Promiscuous mode
Automatic mode
Wireless (WiFi) mode
An NIC must be set to promiscuous mode in order to packet sniff, which includes password sniffing. EDIT: Normally, every NIC receives every packet on its network segment, but tosses out everything not associated with its IP address. In promiscuous mode, nothing gets tossed out.
