I am reading a book that mentions dsniff, I downloaded it but found it way too obsolete, it could not compile with the current libnet and no older libnet could compile on my Slackware 10.0 system. I googled a while and could only find out that everyone else was having the same problem: dsniff is deprecated (last change in changelog was from 2000).

So now I want to know if there is any good (new) alternative to dsniff. I have been using Ethereal and Kismet but from what I could tell from the book, dsniff could sort things out and only present passwords, I liked that feature because I find Ethereal very messy after a while and the filters just don't do it.

Regards.

Tried ettercap?

Thanks Capt_Caveman. I checked out the screenshots and it seemed to be a great program, it seemed much better than Etheral. I will check it out ASAP. Thanks!

I dont know why you are having problems with libnet and libnids.

I am using Slackware 10.1, and with the following packages from http://www.linuxpackages.net , Dsniff works just fine


libnids 1.18
libnet 1.1.2.1 and
Dsniff 2.4_beta1

install libnet and libnids and then Dsniff and everything works just fine. All links above were compiled for 10.0

if you upgrade to 10.1, all that needs to be changed is libnet. Same version, but compiled for 10.1
libnet 1.1.2.1 compiled for 10.1

Dsniff is really an excellent package!

Thanks, I will check those out when I wake up in the morning (getting kinda sleepy). I am not sure what versions I tried cause I can't remember but maybe a new try with those you listen will do it. Thanks.
