This goal of this project is to provide a consistent interface to LBL's libpcap
|
|
|
|
|
packet capture library. This project was created because the currently
|
|
|
|
|
available ruby-pcap library is poorly designed and has been unmaintained since
|
|
|
|
|
2000. This does not provide packet processing functionality, it simply provides
|
|
|
|
|
the interface for capturing packets. For packet processing capability, see the
|
|
|
|
|
PacketRub project (http://packetrub.rubyforge.org).

Requirements:
|
|
|
|
|
libpcap - http://www.tcpdump.org

The latest version can be obtained from Subversion:
|
|
|
|
|
svn checkout http://pcaprub.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Metasploit Project also provides a Subversion repository:
|
|
|
|
|
svn checkout http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/external/pcaprub/

|
The Metasploit Project also added some code from the python netifaces c extension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Original c/python netifaces code is under MIT-style license.
