ettercap-gtk issue

[kid protocol]

I wast trying out some of the new tools on BackTrack 4 when I came across ettercap-gtk. I tried to launch it from the BackTrack list and it did nothing. I tried from the command line and it said command not found. I'm running BT4 under vmware on my macbook.(not the vmware image)

Ettercap-gtk is not installed in BT4b. If you try to install ettercap-gtk then you'll uninstall ettercap-menu and fasttrack

Just go with the command line ettercap or use the curses GUI

in Debian/Ubuntu systems, when we install ettercap-gtk, the GTK interface works... but there something broke here:

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Yes, this is a dependency/conflict problem between BT4 and Ubuntu packages...

I like GTK interface of ettercap, but anyone can survive without...

Also I was trying out the man in the middle attack with ettercap on the commnd line, and the original commands doesn't work for me.
Command: ettercap -M -p -q -T ARP // //
It response back with -T not supported in MitM
Then I'll take the -T out, and it would say -p not supported.
I checked the man page, and every thing seems to be the same did they change the commands?

[fload]

im getting same error -p not supported

[hawaii67]

Lol, why don't you try just that:

ettercap -T -q -p -M ARP // //

The CL version is so much easier to use. Plus, you can hit the space bar and see the traffic going in.
