If you're suspicious you could transmit bogus information and see if
someone tries to use it...

If security is a real concern of yours, get ssh and create a VPN to your
desired destination (I think there's a HOWTO describing how to do this
automatically).

For your internal network, the use of switches can reduce the potential
for sniffing considerably. Of course, the best way is to trust everyone in
your internal network... ;)
