Ettercap ./conf problem
I am using Backtrack 3 and can't seem to get to ettercap's config file. here is where i'm going
cd /usr/local/etc
and the i go into the directory
dir
and under the directory I see a whole bunch of files. most of them are in white text and then some of them are in blue text. The etter.conf file is in white text and when i try to access it by typing in etter.conf I get
-bash: ./etter.conf: Permission denied. It seems that all of the other files that are in white text do the same thing. I can access the ones in blue text. And yes I am in root. I thought ettercap came ready usable in backtrack? I even tried the same thing on Backtrack 2 and get the same results? Any suggestions?
Maybe you should try use a text editor first and learn how Linux works mhmm?
Oh mai gawd can i have a green hat now when i just told you how to open a fileCode:~ bt # nano etter.conf
with a texteditor that is built-in in BackTrack and of course also Slackware?
PS: You use F2 or CTRL+X to save your edited file. CTRL+X will just exit if you didn't edit it.

Are you trying to edit the onf fle? If so, use a cmd line editor to do so, i.e.
or just use Konqueror to navigate to it then open with kwriteCode:nano etter.conf
EDIT: Max, you're obviously a faster typer than me 2day
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
Okay I tried typing in nano etter.conf and there was nothing in the file to edit, here is what is brought up, any ideas?
GNU nano 2.0.6 File: etter.conf

It appears that you are a newbie with no experience with using linux BT or even forums for that matter.Originally Posted by LLO6969

You first need to know that not all things in Linux "work out of the box"
So I would suggest that you try to do some reading and then do some more reading. Then when you think you got it read again!
Some places to read would be here on this forum
Then search google for the slackbook pdf
Then when you are done with that read about the different tools that you are trying to use. This will save you some headaches as well as being thrown in the "idiots corner" !

Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Don't use BT. Get known to how Linux works before coming back to BT. If you don't understand the basics you can't really use BT, you won't learn to run, before you can walk either.

Just like you were previously told, if you don't know what your doing use a more easier OS [Linux], like Ubuntu or something. This will let you get use to the Linux environment. Since Im happy today... the problem was that you opened 'nano' in the root directory, you created a 'new' etter.conf' file. Make sure your in the right directory, /usr/local/****/
Im not spoonfeeding you as its clear that you don't know what your doing, so the Asterix's are there for you to find out what is the next directory that etter.conf is in. If you even tried searching you should have found your answer by now.
Okay I feel like a retard when I went to cd /usr/loca/etc
insteat of entering nano etter.conf I was just putting etter.conf
Today, i had to edit etter.conf . I found it in 30 secs by searching and then i used
nano to kwrite to edit it. I could have found it in console too though.
@"OriginalThreadMaker" --> If you can't even find and edit a file, then you shouldn't
be using BackTrack as doing such a simple thing, is stuff you should already know.
