... one which is configurable to have only specified MAC addresses on
specified ports. Every currently available NIC's MAC address can be
reprogrammed, so this could be used on non-configurable Switching Hubs to
let ports receive packets not destined to them and so being able to catch
some passwords (f.e. POP sessions).
