+dsniff is a collection of tools for network auditing and penetration testing.
+dsniff, filesnarf, mailsnarf, msgsnarf, urlsnarf, and webspy passively monitor
+a network for interesting data (passwords, e-mail, files, etc.). arpspoof,
+dnsspoof, and macof facilitate the interception of network traffic normally
+unavailable to an attacker (e.g, due to layer-2 switching). sshmitm and
+webmitm implement active monkey-in-the-middle attacks against redirected SSH
+and HTTPS sessions by exploiting weak bindings in ad-hoc PKI.
+
+This requires libnids and libnet.
