Name : dsniff
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 2.4
Release : 0.14.b1.el6
URL :

Summary : Tools for network auditing and penetration testing
Description :
A collection of tools for network auditing and penetration testing. Dsniff,
filesnarf, mailsnarf, msgsnarf, urlsnarf and webspy allow to passively monitor
a network for interesting data (passwords, e-mail, files). Arpspoof, dnsspoof
and macof facilitate the interception of network traffic normally unavailable
to an attacker (e.g, due to layer-2 switching). Sshmitm and webmitm implement
active monkey-in-the-middle attacks against redirected SSH and HTTPS sessions
by exploiting weak bindings in ad-hoc PKI.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
- Added a patch which adds further link layer offsets
- Avoid opportunity for DoS in tabular data stream protocol handler
- Added a memset in msgsnarf to correctly 0 out the C struct
- Patched urlsnarf to use timestamps from pcap file if available
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
