ETTERCAP(8)                                                        ETTERCAP(8)




NAME

       ettercap-pkexec - graphical pkexec-based launcher for ettercap

       This  launcher  depends on policykit-1 and the menu packages, and basi-
       cally wraps the ettercap binary command
       with    a    pkexec    action     script     usually     defined     on
       /opt/local/share/polkit-1/actions/org.pkexec.ettercap.policy,
       allowing  users  to  directly  call  ettercap  from the desktop or menu
       launcher with root privileges.
       The commands available are exactly the same as the ettercap man page.

       Please refer to man ettercap for the list of available parameters.
       (don't forget to change "ettercap" to "ettercap-pkexec" as caller  pro-
       gram).

       example:

       ettercap-pkexec  -G  will  start  ettercap with root privileges and the
       GTK2 interface.

BUGS

       Our software never has bugs.
       It just develops random features.   ;)

       KNOWN-BUGS

       - ettercap doesn't handle fragmented packets... only the first  segment
       will  be  displayed  by the sniffer. However all the fragments are cor-
       rectly forwarded.

       + please send bug-report, patches or suggestions to <ettercap-betatest-
       ing@lists.sourceforge.net>  or visit https://github.com/Ettercap/etter-
       cap/issues.

       + to report a bug, follow the instructions in the README.BUGS file




PHILOLOGICAL HISTORY

       "Even if blessed  with  a  feeble  intelligence,  they  are  cruel  and
       smart..."   this  is  the description of Ettercap, a monster of the RPG
       Advanced Dungeons & Dragon.

       The name "ettercap" was chosen because it has an assonance with "ether-
       cap"  which  means "ethernet capture" (what ettercap actually does) and
       also because such monsters have a powerful poison... and you know,  arp
       poisoning... ;)




The Lord Of The (Token)Ring

       (the fellowship of the packet)

       "One Ring to link them all, One Ring to ping them,
        one Ring to bring them all and in the darkness sniff them."




Last words

       "Programming  today  is  a  race between software engineers striving to
       build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the  Universe  trying
       to  produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."
       - Rich Cook
