Hi.,

I would like to download, compile and install tcpkill on our little embedded
linux box but i can't find it in the kernel config nor can I find any
helpful online ressources....
Any clues here how I can get that utility onto my system?

Thank you!
Ron

Under debian tcpkill is included in a package of tools
called dsniff ....

The dsniff homepage is ....

http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/


I have no personal experience with either
tcpkill or dsniff ....

It wouldn't be there. tcpkill is a userspace app, not a kernelspace option.

A quick google search on "tcpkill source" points out references to the
dsniff package, and then another google search on "dsniff source" brings
you right to the source tarball.

Take a look at http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/

Download, http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/dsniff-2.3.tar.gz and
unpack, compile, and install the utilities contained in it. One of those
utilities is tcpkill.

Yep I found that as well but haven't gone ahead yet to compile it.
I'll do that as I get to it!

Thanks for getting back!
