An Ettercap Primer
- Abstract
- Ettercap is a versatile network manipulation tool. It uses its ability to easily perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks in a switched LAN environment as the launch pad for many of its other functions. Once ettercap has inserted itself in the middle of a switched connection, it can capture and examine all communication between the two victim hosts, and subsequently take advantage of these other features.
