I can't seem to find packages for dsniff and snort anywhere, and yes I have looked through all of these sites, http://www.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#External_YaST_R...
Anyone know where I might find an external YaST Repository for security related stuff?
Not specifically.
My repository (suser-guru) does include some network and security related tools.
dsniff is a dead horse. It requires libnet 1.0.x, which is deprecated and not further supported.
I almost managed to build dsniff by statically linking against a libnet 1.0.2a that would have been
included in the package, but then again dsniff requires libnids. And libnids doesn't build against
libnet 1.0.x, only against libnet 1.1.x or 1.2.x
dsniff hasn't undergone any release or development effort since 2003 and there is not much hope to
have the author (or someone else) port it to libnet 1.2.x, especially since the libnet >= 1.1.x API
is very different.
The only chance would be to use an also deprecated libnids, that uses libnet 1.0.x as well.
That's what I did in my dsniff package: it includes libnids 1.16 and libnet 1.0.2a that are built
and linked statically by dsniff.
It required quite some ugly hacks but.. it seems to work. I didn't test the packaged runtime myself,
please do that yourself and submit the feedback (whether it works or not).
The SUSE RPMs (for 10.0, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1 and 9.0) will be available tomorrow morning (GMT+1) on my
website, here: http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Network/dsniff
(or using my YaST2, apt-rpm or redcarpet repository)
As you're using x86_64 and I don't have any build host for that architecture, just grab yourself the
src.rpm file and: rpmbuild --rebuild dsniff-2.3-1.guru.suse93.src.rpm
(don't mind the ".suse93." that shows up in the src.rpm filename, it doesn't matter at all, my
src.rpms work on all SUSE versions, it's just that I cannot suppress that in the src.rpm filename)
Now, as far as snort is concerned... AFAICR it's a pain to package (and integrate properly into the
distribution). It would most definately take me a couple of hours to build, so... no.
At least not right now ;)
cheers
