             * Discover promiscuous nodes
             * Reset an established connection
             * Perform a single half-open portscanner
             * Perform a multi half-open portscanner
             * Find link type (hub or switch)
             * Catch daemon banner of LAN nodes
             * Control arp answers to discover possible arp-spoofings
             * Byte counting with an optional filter
