[PATCH] promiscuous mode
Hi, When a network interface goes into promiscuous mode, its an important security issue. The attached patch is intended to capture that action and send an event to the audit system. The patch carves out a new block of numbers for kernel detected anomalies. These are events that may indicate suspicious activity. Other examples of potential kernel anomalies would be: exceeding disk quota, rlimit violations, changes to syscall entry table.
