Alright I downloaded Ettercap from http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/ but I can't open it! After trying to figure it out I find that it's a .tar file. Now I've tried downloading the .tar archiver but that turns out to be freeware, so when I install it-because it's freeware, I assume-all i can find is a folder full of header files, source files and other [censored] but no executable program. Now I assume I'm supposed to compile all of that [censored] and create or should I say "put it together" myself but I'm no programmer; all I wan't to do is Install Ettercap! GODDAMNIT uh...help! lol Flowbe1 Neverclone

tar is a *nix utility. I'm willing to bet you are sitting there in windows with WinZip trying to untar this archive. That won't work in a million years. For arguements sake, WinAce will extract the files for you in windows, but even still they will be useless to you. 1. cause you won't be able to compile em and 2. cause even if you had a compiler those files are written for *nix and won't compile properly anyways. What you need to do is find a win32 binary for ettercap. EDIT: Ok, so I decided to find one for you. Problem is that they don't officially exist. from ettercap README.BINARIES: Ettercap is distributed officially ONLY in source code. Binary packages in ANY form are NOT officially supported. Although it is not prohibited to distribute binary packages, the authors will not respond on bugs found in them. If you use one of these packages downloaded from Internet, redirect your bug report to /dev/null. The authors will reply to bug reports and will be happy to find a solution only for hand compiled executables. Every Linux distribution, but even *BSD or Windows is different from another. What is compiled on my machine may not work on yours because of a different version of a system library. To avoid this type of missing dependencies, we will not distribute any binary for any operating system. Most of the popular distributions (Debian, RedHat, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, ecc) provide the binary packages for ettercap. Use these packages, since they are build to work on your distribution and should have the dependencies resolved correctly. Refer to the binary packager of your distribution for problems regarding these packages.
So it looks like you either find a compiler for windows and compile it yourself, or install some flavor of *nix on something and do it there. Infinite

I have done the installation on RHL 9, while running ./configure it showed error "require libpcap 8.0.1" or something. I downloaded and ran lipcap. But still ettercap shows the same error message. Please help.

/me reaches out through Flowbe1's monitor and smaks his [censored] so hard he reailises he has been given the answer to his problem. Link for utility to un-zip g-zip or *.gz files in windows http://www.gzip.org/gzip124xN.zip Link for utility to un-tar or *.tar files in windows http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/tar-1.13-1-bin.zip?download *.tar is a way to group numerous files and make a "tar ball" *.gz is a way to zip or compress files. What you have is a compressed tar ball. First you need to un-tar the file, then un zip it. Since the 2 files above are probably above your head this will open your file... http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar330.exe Click the link, install the program, re-boot. now open your tar ball. As the link above this is an easy install and will open your file. http://www.tucows.com/preview/194310.html If you do not get this, I will hunt you down and force you to lick my toe cheese. Think it's funny, my doctor puked at it's site. Reading this post was painful for me, so please please get this.
