Ettercap is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN. It uses ARP poisoning and the man-in-the-middle technique to sniff all the connections between two host. It's possible to sniff in three modes: + IP Based, the packets are filtered on IP source and dest + MAC Based, packets filtered on mac address, useful to sniff connections through gateway + ARP based, uses arp poisoning to sniff in switched lan. Ettercap also supports character injection and plugins. WWW: http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/ - George Reid greid@ukug.uk.freebsd.org

0.6.b_2 27 Feb 2004 01:05:19	clement	Remove all stalled Makefiles in net category. Approved and reviewed by: marcus
0.6.b_2 23 Feb 2004 04:42:13	wollman	Say hello to the new "net-mgmt" category. There are probably more ports that belong here than the ones I have identified and moved in this, first, pass. Approved in principle by: marcus
0.6.b_2 17 Feb 2004 13:02:50	netchild	- Obey PTHREAD_LIBS also when libpthread exists. - Use/respect DATADIR and DOCSDIR. Submitted by: Marius Strobl <marius@alchemy.franken.de>
0.6.b_1 04 Feb 2004 05:10:27	marcus	Bump PORTREVISION on all ports that depend on gettext to aid with upgrading. (Part 1)

0.6.b 03 Nov 2003 00:54:32	kris	Reset maintainer of ports owned by inactive committers who were just retired.
0.6.b 14 Oct 2003 16:01:12	netchild	Update to 0.6.b. - gtk2 support - new sniffing method was added as a plugin - three new plugins - bumb PORTEPOCH, otherwise 0.6.b (they mean hex B) wouldn't be recognised as newer by pkg_version etc. - add 'security' as a second category (as nmap and friends are mainly there) - respect CFLAGS, PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS - make SSL-support optional - base compilation of gnome frontend on autodetection of installed gtk20, use gnome-PKGNAMESUFFIX - disable auto-download of new version via wget (saves dependency on wget, FreeBSD-users should update via the ports-collection anyway) - enable compilation and installation of the plug-ins - compile lc-converter (an application port IMO should not install sources) - don't install ettercap.fr.8.in Submitted by: Marius Strobl <marius@alchemy.franken.de> PR: 51898 Approved by: maintainer timeout (~5 months)
0.6.7 16 Aug 2003 16:02:39	petef	Add MASTER_SITE_PACKETSTORM as an additional mirror. PR: 52109 Submitted by: Jim Geovedi <jim@corebsd.or.id> Approved by: various maintainers, timeouts
