BASIC INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS: libpcap and pdump's ./lib directory INSTALLING: ./install UPGRADING: ./install UNINSTALLING: ./extras/uninstall MANUAL INSTALLATION: tar -zxvf pdump-Sniff-* cd pdump-Sniff-* perl Makefile.PL make make install cd .. cp pdump.pl /usr/local/bin/pdump (or wherever else you wish to put it) If you want, you can modify the $fulpath variable at the top of pdump.pl and enter the exact path to pdump's lib directory. Example: $fulpath = '/usr/local/pdump/lib'; This way the lib directory won't need to be in the current directory and you won't need to use the -l option with pdump. ----------------------------------------------------- Other information: Pdump requires libpcap to be installed. You can get the current version of libpcap at: http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-0.5.2.tar.gz Be sure to have libpcap installed BEFORE installing pdump (pdump::Sniff specifically)! Included in this package is pdump::Sniff and pdump itself. If you already have the current version of pdump::Sniff, the install script will not reinstall. If you do not have either of the two modules, install them (latest modules are included.) Run `./install` to install everything or `perl install`. IF you already have all these modules and other stuff appropriately installed, you can just ./pdump.pl or make a symlink or something of pdump.pl to /usr/bin or whatever. You still need to be in the pdump directory to run pdump since it depends on the lib/ directory although you can just modify pdump.pl to read the lib/ dir from a specific dir instead of just reading ./lib. Then you are able to run pdump from anywhere. -sam kamkar [commport5@lucidx.com]
