Sniffing traffic of other virtual machines from inside a virtual machine

From http://cyberarms.wordpress.com/2010...chines-sniffing-guest-traffic-with-wireshark/:

I read the other day in “Protect Your Windows Network: From Perimeter to Data” (Excellent book by the way) that most virtual machine interfaces act more like an old style hub (re-broadcasts all traffic to every port), instead of a switch (broadcasts data only on destination port). In essence, if you can compromise a guest OS, and put the network card in promiscuous mode, you can view all of the data of all of the virtual machines using the physical NIC.
