Ettercap 0.6.2 (Devel) by ALoR (http://freshmeat.net/users/alor/) Monday, November 12th 2001 04:41 Security System :: Networking About: Ettercap is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet LANs. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones, like SSH and HTTPS). Data injection in an established connection and filtering on the fly is also possible, keeping the connection synchronized. Many sniffing modes were implemented to give you a powerful and complete sniffing suite. Plugins are supported. It has the ability to check whether you are in a switched LAN or not, and to use OS fingerprints (active or passive) to let you know the geometry of the LAN. Changes: Ettercap is now a multi-thread single process. The connection engine was enhanced. Filtered data can exceed the MTU. A completely new plugin conception, the possibility to load/save the hosts list from/to a file, and a new 'TEXT only' view on sniffed data was added. Handling of unknown passive fingerprints was improved. The passive/active OS fingerprint database has been updated.
