05-07-2003 : Comments needed

As you may have noticed, the DeSniff project have been stalled for a long time. I'm asking some questions myself... Do i continue to developp this program? Is it usefull? Does somebody use it? etc...
It's very hard to maintain this type of software, it takes a lot of time and i haven't anymore a suffisient network to preforms tests. So i need you help...
All informations will be welcome.

Here is what i expect from you :

• Tests returns (if you try DeSniff and experience strange or bad results)
• Fonctionalities requests (if you think that something usefull is missing)
• Bug reports (I can't imagine that DeSniff works for everyone correctly)
• Any other comments (Is DeSniff usefulle or not, should i continue)

To contact me just send me an email : borisvalera AT altern.org

03-13-2002 : DeSniff 0.1

Many changes in this version

• The -n option have been added. It allows you to scan a netwrok you're not on. This is really usefull when you want to spoof request or your network card isn't configured with a good ip... Hmmm... I don't really know if it's a usefull option or not but i've done ;-)

• ARP Answers are processed to determine if ARP Proxies are on the network. It recognize sniffer under Linux.

• The results presentation have change and the option -v (verbose) have been added too.

• A delay between 2 ARP request have been set to 10 milliseconds.

• The targets are now listed. This will allow to scan a list of computer rather than a complete network or just one computer. But this haven't been coded.

• The father process handle the SIGCHLD now.

• The result file isn't opened/saved at each call to callback() function anymore. Now we open and close the file only one time.

• The program wait 10 seconds after sending the last ARP request before stopping completely. No more need to do a ^C to stop.

• Changed the "Nom hote local" to "Local hostname". As some have noticed I'm french and some comments may still in french. I promise, they will disapear soon.

03-05-2002 : DeSniff 0.05 Archive correction

A little problem has occured during the making of the archive and the configure script isn't working... I've uploaded a good archive.

	For those who have a 0.05 release which configure
	script don't work add this line in the configure.in
	CFLAGS = "`libnet-config --defines` $CFLAGS"

	and run these commands : 
	# aclocal; autoconf; automake -a
	and then your configure script will run and make will create a good
	executable alone.
	
	Or download the new archive which is good.

	I really apologize for this error.
	

03-01-2002 : DeSniff 0.05 Release

• Complete/Basic scan function added

• can now write results to a file (-f FILE option)

• configure script added to the tar.gz archive. So now to install type : ./configure, make, make install.

02-27-2002 : Web site online

I've realised a first version of the DeSniff Project web site. I'll try to keep it to day.

02-14-2002 : DeSniff 0.02 Release

• The menu is now functional

• The -d option bug is now corrected

• IP spoofing is working (-s IP option)

• Mac spoofing is working (-m MAC option)

• target definition is working (-t IP option)

I've changed my organisation for sources and headers. I think that it's more clear and usable now.
