Thanks for your note. Yes, 0.8.0 was released some time ago. The kali patches are merged into the Debian packaging branch in git://github.com/barak/ettercap and I tagged kali/0.8.0-0kali1 with a snapshot of the kali sources.
If you want to use the kali version you can still stay with Debian. You should be able to simply install the kali .deb file in a Debian system. Or failing that, just build the binary .deb files from source. (If you don't know how to do that ask by private email and I'll explain.) The reason 0.8.0 hasn't made it into Debian is that there are some nasty problems. In version 0.8.0 much of ettercap is broken out into a private shared library libettercap.so, This links to a zillion things it shouldn't, in particular X libraries, even though it is loaded by the text-only ettercap executable. It also causes instability when the same libettercap.so is linked by both the graphical and textual executables. Upstream is aware of the issues and there's been some work on them, but (due in large measure to my own lack of time) a proper package of 0.8.0 has not yet been generated. You can see the work in the above git repo, and I'd welcome patches! Cheers, --Barak. -- Barak A. Pearlmutter Hamilton Institute & Dept Comp Sci, NUI Maynooth, Co.
