ettercap

0.7.4-Lazarus RELEASED!!

"Children are made to let them go their own way, while you look at them happy, spying how it will end."
This is exactly how I feel right now. The project was born when we were at the University, it grew up for 5 years and then it was put on hold. The job and the family had not left enough free time to code like in the past. Now it's time to let it go and grow in the hands of someone else looking at what it will become. It's time to pass the baton. I'm sure new the developer team will keep up the project and will let it become something bigger than what it's now. The todo i've seen is great, lot of new feature are coming out, stay tuned...

Optional Libraries:	To enable plugins: libltdl (part of libtool) To have perl regexp in the filters: libpcre To support SSH and SSL decryption: openssl 0.9.7 For the cursed GUI: ncurses >= 5.3 For the GTK+ GUI: pkgconfig >= 0.15.0 and: - Glib >= 2.4.x - Gtk+ >= 2.4.x - Atk >= 1.6.x - Pango >= 1.4.x If you want SSH1 and/or HTTPS support, ettercap requires OpenSSL libraries

Installation:	ettercap 0.6.x is deprecated; please upgrade to 0.7.x Binaries are not officially provided or supported - you have to compile it yourself (which can be tricky under Windows) or find a third-party binary provider. The developers are unlikely to be swayed on this. Before installation, please ensure you have the correct versions of the above listed libraries. For the best experience you should have them all. Out-of-date or missing libraries are the most common reason for failure. You need to read the documentation in the tgz before and after running ./configure; make; make install. The command-line switches and the etter.conf have changed from 0.6.x to 0.7. You should read and edit the etter.conf to suit. For HTTPS support you need to uncomment the right 'redir' command in etter.conf. In short, read the docs, read the man pages, read the FAQ, read the forums, and then ask questions. ;)

Running Ettercap:	You need to select a user interface (no default) using -T for Text only, -C for the Ncurses based GUI, or -G for the nice GTK2 interface (thanks Daten...).
