| Installation (Please Read): |
- Please note ettercap 0.6.x is deprecated; please upgrade to 0.7.
- 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 Out-of-date or missing libraries are the most common reason for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...).
