Description Rafał Grzeszczuk 2015-02-10 08:49:14 UTC 
Created attachment 152834 [details]
The core file.

Ettercap 0.8.1 on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE crashes after printing the version number. On the Ethernet interface (ale0) the commands behave as follows:
ettercap -T -i ale0
ettercap 0.8.1 (...)
Could not open device for mtu query

ettercap -T -i ale0 -M arp /192.168.0.10// /192.168.0.1//
ettercap 0.8.1 (...)
Using ettercap on the lo0 interface makes it produce the "core dumped, submit a bug report" message.
(all were started as root)

FIX: The newest git of ettercap fixes the issue.

Make's output.
Comment 7 Rafał Grzeszczuk 2015-02-22 11:16:30 UTC 
Actually, this might be a more complex issue.
I applied the update and it fixed nothing. Ettercap installed from ports still creates a .core file and crashes. It is not the case if I use ettercap's cmake system. However the program is unable to route packets (this is being addressed by the ettercap team), so I am beginning to suspect the fault might be in a library used to
I attach make's output.
