Download Ettercap 0.7.4-Lazarus

Ettercap is an open source packet sniffer that can run on different operating systems. It can be used for network protocol analysis and security auditing. In addition, it is able to perform active eavesdropping in certain situations. The previous release, version NG-0.7.3, dates back to May 2005 after which it died a quiet death due to lack of time with the developers. A while ago a new developer picked up the thread after consultation and version 0.7.4-Lazarus is the result. The announcement of this latest release looks like this:

0.7.4-Lazarus RELEASED!!

“Children are made to let them go their own way, while you look at them happy, spying how it will end.”

This is exactly how I feel right now. The project was born when we were at the University, it grew up for 5 years and then it was put on hold. The job and the family had not left enough free time to code like in the past. Now it’s time to let it go and grow in the hands of someone else looking at what it will become. It’s time to pass the baton. I’m sure new the developer team will keep up the project and will let it become something bigger than what it’s now. The todo i’ve seen is great, lot of new feature are coming out, stay tuned…
