This here is a bit detailed steps that I did to get ettercap 0.7.4 working in my Backtrack 5 R1. Please try it and if you get some errors please kindly post it in the comments. I have tried this only in BackTrack 5 R1 (Both fresh and old install), but I guess it will work in other debian-based distros too. So here are the steps.
1) First get the ettercap from here.
2) Untar it.
tar -xzf ettercap-0.7.4.tar.gz
3) Get the libnet from here.
4) Untar libnet.
tar -xzf libnet-1.1.2.1.tar.gz
5) Cd to the extracted directory.
cd libnet
./configure
make
make install
libnet will be installed.
6) Now lets install the dependencies for ettercap.
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev
7) After that cd to the ettercap directory.
cd ettercap
./configure
make
make install
If step #7 completed without any problems/errors then you are good to go.
A restart is recommended from my side, as it worked only after I restarted (maybe only for me).
It has worked perfectly for me till now, though its just about 15 mins and I havent played with all the features/options. Only did arp spoofing and sniffed https passwords.
Enjoy!!!

Can i contact you via email or just here instead if your blog wont look bad with long convo on comments!!!
you can do anything you wish.
ReplyDeleteWill a tutorial be released on using the software?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I do not have a plan to write tutorial on this site about this software. But I can send you email about using it. Just send me your address.
DeleteI try following your step but I got ERROR: libtoolize not found. And I dun know why. I install Ettercap 0.7.4.1 on Backtrack 5. Is this error from this version of Backtrack? Will be OK if I try on Backtrack R1 or R2??
ReplyDeleteYes, it would be better if you use BackTrack 5 R2, as it is the latest and supported version, which contains ettercap by default too.
DeleteBut if you ewant to stick to BT 5, then try installing libtoolize, as the error says. :)
in step 7 when i make it get some error make[2]: *** [ettercap] Error 1
