Hy, I'm a beginner in programming and in Kali Linux, especially. I did everything as written, but didn't manage to do the "sudo apt-get install ettercap" command, "E: Package 'ettercap' has no installation candidate" was the reason. I had to do the "sudo apt-get install ettercap-graphical" skipping the above mention one. Ettercap is successfully installed, but I can't use the "wlan1" option in the Network interface while trying to sniff (no such an option given). Could you please support me some way?) Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteTry apt install ettercap-text-only for commandline. Then start ettercap as:
