IIRC, most modern cable modems filter anything not addressed to them - you'd have
to hack your modem to get it to go into promiscuous mode.
It's not easy to do, and it relies on brain-dead network admins to leave some back
doors in.
OTOH, you could probably find hardware to do just this - if you were in law
enforcement.
