      Version: 0.1.6
      Revision: 1
      Category: net

      Description: Watch the pictures go by on your net
      Homepage: http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/driftnet
      Platform: darwin

      Long Description: Inspired by EtherPEG, Driftnet is a program which listens to network traffic and picks out images from TCP streams it observes. Fun to run on a host which sees lots of web traffic.

      Master Sites: http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/driftnet/

      # Driftnet doesn't use a configure file, so the Makefile # has to be rudely coerced to work properly.

      #user_notes This program is lots of fun to use at a conference # where wireless networking is available. I did the port # at IETF 57 :-)

    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

      % sudo port install driftnet
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching driftnet
      ---> Verifying checksum for driftnet
      ---> Extracting driftnet
      ---> Configuring driftnet
      ---> Building driftnet with target all
      ---> Staging driftnet into destroot
      ---> Installing driftnet
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using driftnet with these commands:
      %  man driftnet
      % apropos driftnet
      % which driftnet
      % locate driftnet
