what is \'ethereal\'?

[crazy-b]

theb: i couldnt compile it natively. that is because i culd not compile libpcap, due to the fact that pcap-type is unknown and i didnt know how to fix that. i\'m very interested in ethereal, too, so we should figure that. ettercap compiles fine for me. tcpdump from killefiz.de also works fine. but ethereal would be better.

ethereal is the best network sniffer / analyzer out there.

[usual]

Ethereal is fien for networks on hubs, but ettercap is superior because it can sniff switched networks

[crazy-b]

usual: thats true, but unfortunately, eventhough ettercap compiles and works in gtk mode, it does *not* see any traffic at all. that must be a special ettercap/arm/zaurus problem, since ettercap on my notebook sees the tcp packages over usb. will try with wlan in the next days, dont have an ap here.

just curious, and not trying to insult your intelligence at all, but do you know how to use ettercap? I have talked to many people that havn\'t seen traffic because they wern\'t using it properly.

[crazy-b]

Hehe, I definitly know how ettercap works, yeah. It might be a problem because of the usb connection.

configure pcap with \"--with-pcap=linux\"

Try to compile ettercap without any optimization turned on.  It may not work, havent tried it myself, I got distracted trying to get the lastest kismet to work (I cain\'t get it to channel hop even tho it claims it is and --silent doesnt work!?).   But I did notice ettercap had all sorts of optimization turned on for it which often dont work on the arm version of gcc.  The ettercap I compiled was getting its ip addresses reversed like a big endian vs little endian problem.
