-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-6589 2012-04-25 04:40:41 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : netsniff-ng Product : Fedora 17 Version : 0.5.6 Release : 2.fc17 URL : http://netsniff-ng.org/ Summary : A high performance network sniffer for packet inspection Description : netsniff-ng is a high performance linux network sniffer for packet inspection. Basically, it is similar to tcpdump, but it doesn't need one syscall per packet. Instead, it uses an memory mapped area within kernelspace for accessing packets without copying them to userspace (zero-copy mechanism). This tool is useful for debugging your network, measuring performance throughput or creating network statistics of incoming packets on central network nodes like routers or firewalls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update is an rebuild of package with default Fedora compiler flags. It could improve stability/performance/security. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #815476 - netsniff-ng 0.5.6-1 not built with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815476 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
