General Information
------- -----------
EtherApe is a network traffic browser. It displays network activity
graphically. It uses GNOME libraries as it's user interface, and
libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library.
EtherApe started as an etherman clone, but now it has some unique
features. It can run in "interape" mode with -m ip, and in
"tcp-ape" mode with -m tcp. Expect more modes to come soon.
EtherApe will use /etc/ethers if there is one. If not, it will
try to reverse lookup the ip address.
IMPORTANT! It is particularly important when running EtherApe
to have the ethernet address of your router in /etc/ethers.
If not, your router will have as name whatever IP address
it was forwarding traffic from when it was first heard.
Check the NEWS file for the latest developments, and
etherape --help for the current set of options.
You will have to have superuser privileges in order to use this
program, as is the case with any libpcap based application.
Installation:
-------------
Please read the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
Brief summary:
# ./configure
# make install
By default, binaries will be copied to /usr/local/sbin
You may uninstall later by running
# make uninstall
You will also find information on how to build a debian package
in the INSTALL file.
Porting:
--------
EtherApe is developed on Linux, but should probably compile and run in other Unix-like OS.
