NAME¶
ettercap-pkexec - graphical pkexec-based launcher for ettercap
This launcher depends on policykit-1 and the menu packages, and basically wraps
the ettercap binary command
with a pkexec action script usually defined on
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.pkexec.ettercap.policy,
allowing users to directly call ettercap from the desktop or menu launcher with
root privileges.
The commands available are exactly the same as the ettercap man page.
Please refer to man ettercap for the list of available parameters.
(don't forget to change "ettercap" to "ettercap-pkexec" as
caller program).
example:
ettercap-pkexec -G will start ettercap with root privileges and the GTK2
interface.

PHILOLOGICAL HISTORY¶
"Even if blessed with a feeble intelligence, they are cruel and
smart..." this is the description of Ettercap, a monster of the RPG
Advanced Dungeons & Dragon.
The name "ettercap" was chosen because it has an assonance with
"ethercap" which means "ethernet capture" (what ettercap
actually does) and also because such monsters have a powerful poison... and
you know, arp poisoning... ;)
The Lord Of The (Token)Ring¶
(the fellowship of the packet)
"One Ring to link them all, One Ring to ping them,
one Ring to bring them all and in the darkness sniff them."
Last words¶
"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build
bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce
bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." - Rich
