💖 ETTERCAP(8) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ettercap-pkexec glow-up, straight out of the System Manager's Manual section of the ETTERCAP(8) universe 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ettercap-pkexec — a graphical, pkexec-based launcher for ettercap 👑

This launcher depends on policykit-1 and the menu packages, and basically wraps the ettercap binary command with a pkexec action script usually defined on /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.pkexec.ettercap.policy, allowing users to directly call ettercap from the desktop or menu launcher with root privileges. 💅

The commands available are exactly the same as the ettercap man page. no cap.

Please refer to man ettercap for the list of available parameters. (don't forget to change "ettercap" to "ettercap-pkexec" as caller program). 🙈

example:

ettercap-pkexec -G will start ettercap with root privileges and the GTK2
interface.

🧚 PHILOLOGICAL HISTORY 🧚

"Even if blessed with a feeble intelligence, they are cruel and smart..." this is the description of Ettercap, a monster of the RPG Advanced Dungeons & Dragon. 🐉

The name "ettercap" was chosen because it has an assonance with "ethercap" which means "ethernet capture" (what ettercap actually does) and also because such monsters have a powerful poison... and you know, arp poisoning... ;) 💜

💅 The Lord Of The (Token)Ring 💅

"One Ring to link them all, One Ring to ping them,
 one Ring to bring them all and in the darkness sniff them."

😭 Last words 😭

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to
produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." -
Rich Cook

and that's the whole page, bestie 🥹 this is version ettercap 0.8.4.1 of the ETTERCAP(8) manual — take care of her, she's iconic, she's main character energy, periodt. 💖✨
