# The net/ettercap port

## ettercap-0.7.3p10 – multi-purpose sniffer/interceptor/logger

## Description

    Ettercap is a multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched
    LAN.  It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols
    (even ciphered ones) and includes many features for network and host
    analysis.

    It's possible to sniff in four modes.

    + IP Based, the packets are filtered on IP source and destination
    + MAC Based, packets filtered on mac address, useful to sniff
      connections through gateway
    + ARP based, uses arp poisoning to sniff in switched lan between
      two hosts (full-duplex).
    + PublicARP based, uses arp poisoning to sniff in switched LAN
      from a victim host to all other hosts (half-duplex).

    Cool Features:

    * Characters injection in an established connection:
      you can inject character to server (emulating commands) or to
      client (emulating replies) maintaining the connection alive !!
    * SSH1 support:
      you can sniff User and Pass, and even the data of an SSH1
      connection. ettercap is the first software capable to sniff an
      SSH connection in FULL-DUPLEX
    * Plug-ins support:
      You can create your own plugin using the ettercap's API.
    * Password collector for:
      TELNET, FTP, POP, RLOGIN, SSH1, ICQ, SMB, MySQL, HTTP
      (other protocols coming soon...)
    * OS fingerprint:
      you can fingerprint the OS of the victim host and even its
      network adapter
    * Kill a connection:
      from the connections list you can kill all the connections you
      want.
