hi guys

After a long time playing around with the various package versions required by dsniff, I managed to get a compiled version that actually worked. Apon doing so I set about testing it by trying to sniff traffic flowing between my Windoze box and my FreeBSD gateway using my lappy (slack 8.1)

I run a switched network, but I thought I could get around this by arpspoofing the Windoze box into thinking that my lappy had the gateways mac addy (and then forwarding the packets using fragrouter) now, this did (kinda) work, I can see traffic from the Windoze box flowing over the wire and onto the gateway using tcpdump, but neither dsniff or its tools (urlsnarf etc.) actually manage to pick anything up (apart from info comming straight from the laptop)

could this problem have something to do with the packages that dsniff depends apon ? (I only say because the main dsniff program often crashes with a segmentation fault)

any help would be great !
cheers guys

Honestly, you might receive better results if you requested a mod to move the thread to the networking forum. It would appear that the question would be more networking related than Slackware related.

tsss tsss
dsniff is a pretty evil apps you know hummmm? :P

Make sure you are using the patched version of dsniff... the source code have been broke some time to avoid newbie using this tool. Be sure you have the correct version of "DB" with the symlink between /usr/include/db3/* and /usr/include/

blimey, that is pretty evil mind you, I'm only using this because I was curious about my own networks security, I'm not planning on doing anything naughty

anyways, I did actually have the symlink already there but I shall try again cheers
