dsniff is a password sniffer which handles FTP, Telnet, SMTP,
HTTP, POP, poppass, NNTP, IMAP, SNMP, LDAP, Rlogin, RIP, OSPF, PPTP
MS-CHAP, NFS, VRRP, YP/NIS, SOCKS, X11, CVS, IRC, AIM, ICQ, Napster,
PostgreSQL, Meeting Maker, Citrix ICA, Symantec pcAnywhere, NAI
Sniffer, Microsoft SMB, Oracle SQL*Net, Sybase and Microsoft SQL
protocols.
dsniff automatically detects and minimally parses each
application protocol, only saving the interesting bits, and uses
Berkeley DB as its output file format, only logging unique
authentication attempts. Full TCP/IP reassembly is provided by
libnids(3).
I wrote dsniff with honest intentions - to audit my own network,
and to demonstrate the insecurity of cleartext network protocols.
Please do not abuse this software.
OPTIONS
-c
Perform half-duplex TCP stream reassembly, to handle asymmetrically
routed traffic (such as when using arpspoof(8) to intercept client
traffic bound for the local gateway).
-d
Enable debugging mode.
-m
Enable automatic protocol detection.
-n
Do not resolve IP addresses to hostnames.
-i interface
Specify the interface to listen on.
-s snaplen
Analyze at most the first snaplen bytes of each TCP connection,
rather than the default of 1024.
-f services
Load triggers from a services file.
-t trigger[,...]
Load triggers from a comma-separated list, specified as
port/proto=service (e.g. 80/tcp=http).
-r savefile
Read sniffed sessions from a savefile created with the -w
option.
-w file
Write sniffed sessions to savefile rather than parsing and
printing them out.
expression
Specify a tcpdump(8) filter expression to select traffic to sniff.
On a hangup signal dsniff will dump its current trigger table to
dsniff.services.
