As far as finding machines running Wireshark there are actually a few
techniques. If you Google for "detect promiscuous mode" and follow
through on some of the research. One mechanism was using a "feature"
of the Linux IP stack where a Linux host in promiscuous mode would
respond to IP packet even it was sent to a MAC address it didn't own.
There were other techniques involving ARP.

You probably mean the way described here:

Table 1 specifically.

BTW. The paper will also probably give you an idea of how to do an
"anti-anti-sniffer" also :)
