Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting passive malicious network-mapping software on a computer network are disclosed. An expected location within a computer system for storing a received data packet may be determined. An actual storage location of the received data packet may be identified and compared to the expected storage location. In the event that the expected location does not match the actual storage location of the received data packet on the computer system, the presence of passive malicious network-mapping software such as a sniffer may be detected.
