In the interest of getting back to more regular and more frequent releases, here goes the first release candidate for the netsniff-ng toolkit. It's nothing too spectacular, mostly bugfixes and cleanups - see the changelog below for details.
Have fun! --- netsniff-ng 0.5.9-rc1 has been released to the public (http://netsniff-ng.org/). It can be fetched via Git: git clone git://github.com/netsniff-ng/netsniff-ng.git git checkout v0.5.9-rc1 Or via HTTP: wget http://pub.netsniff-ng.org/netsniff-ng/netsniff-ng-0.5.9-rc1.tar.gz The release can be verified via Git (see README): git tag -v v0.5.9-rc1 Major high-level changes since the last release are: 1) Add a rudimenatry netlink message dissector to netsniff-ng, from Tobias Klauser. 2) Use printf/scanf format specifiers for fixed width types (fixing a crash of ifpps in 32 bit environments), from James McCoy 3) Fix integer overflow related to ring size, thus now actually allowing to use ring sizes larger than 4 GiB. However, ther still exist some problems with larger ring sizes, see issue #128 [1]. By Tobias Klauser, with help from Michał Purzyński and Jon Schipp. [1] https://github.com/netsniff-ng/netsniff-ng/issues/128 4) Fix the build system to install configuration files to /etc instead of /usr/local/etc, by Kartik Mistry.
