There is a significant difference between a switch and a hub. So a "hub switch" makes no sens in your reply.
The term "switching hub" is sometimes used for switches. The "hub" in the name notwithstanding, they're switches, with the usual limitation of switches...
...namely that, even if a program is capturing in promiscuous mode, it won't see all the traffic going through the switch, because only traffic for the machine plugged into a port is sent to that port - it's not a shared medium, the way non-switched Ethernet, including Ethernet involving a true hub, is.
See the Wireshark Wiki's page on Ethernet capturing for more details.
