 ====== Network - Check Promiscuous ======
+Promiscuous mode allows a network device to intercept and read each network packet that arrives in its entirety.  This mode of operation is sometimes given to a network snoop server that captures and saves all packets for analysis (for example, for monitoring network usage).
+Promiscuous mode can be used in a malicious way to sniff on a network.
