The men behind ettercap-NG

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lock-down-the-hatches dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In 2001 two Italians released the first beta version of ettercap, a network protocol analyzer. Ettercap is now covered in most security books. It's number 9 in the Top 75 Security Tools list of the Nmap Hackers mailing list. This summer they released ettercap-NG, which was completely rewritten from scratch with better, modular code, making it easier to add new features and write and submit patches. NewsForge recently caught up with its authors for an Interview."

    Ettercap-NG has fine production values, but I prefer the retro social commentary of the original. I guess you just get comfortable with what you grew up with.
