Installing Ethereal, Tethereal, and Editcap on Win32
|
||||
====================================================
|
||||
These are the instructions for installing Ethereal
|
||||
from the installation executable that is provided on
|
||||
the Ethereal website and any of its mirrors.
|
||||
|
||||
The installation package allows you to install:
|
||||
|
||||
o Ethereal - the GUI version
|
||||
o Tethereal - the console, line-mode version
|
||||
o Editcap - a console, line-mode utility to convert
|
||||
capture files from one format to another.
|
||||
(The same functions are available in Ethereal)
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, the installation package contains a "plugins"
|
||||
option, which installs the Gryphon and MGCP dissector plugins
|
||||
for use with Ethereal and Tethereal.
|
||||
|
||||
The "Debug PDB Files" are useful to install if you are experiencing
|
||||
a crash when running and Ethereal. Dr. Watson or your debugger
|
||||
can use the information in these files to provide useful information
|
||||
to the Ethereal developers that will help them pinpoint the problem.
|
||||
However, for general usage of Ethereal, these files are not
|
||||
necessary. In the future, we may package them separately from
|
||||
Ethereal.
|
||||
|
||||
In the past, two versions of Ethereal binaries were published -- a
|
||||
version that could capture packets and a version which could not.
|
||||
The latter is useful if you're only reading files produced by
|
||||
another product (e.g., a sniffer, firewall, or intrustion detection system)
|
||||
and did not wish to install WinPcap, the library Ethereal uses
|
||||
to capture packets on Win32 platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that WinPcap 2.1 has been released as a DLL, Ethereal can
|
||||
detect its presence at run time. Thus, only one version of
|
||||
the Ethereal binaries need to be shipped.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't want to capture packets, just install the Ethereal
|
||||
package. If you do want to capture packets, install Ethereal *and*
|
||||
install WinPcap 2.1, available from:
|
||||
|
||||
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have WinPcap 2.0 installed, you need to un-install
|
||||
it and install WinPcap 2.1. If you use other applications
|
||||
that use WinPcap 2.0, you will have to decide which applications
|
||||
to keep, since WinPcap 2.0 and WinPcap 2.1 cannot be installed
|
||||
on the same system at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
If Ethereal is not capturing packets and you have WinPcap installed,
|
||||
you can test your WinPcap installation by installing WinDump
|
||||
(TCPdump for Windows) ported by the same folks who make WinPcap. It's at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/windump/
|
||||
|
||||
They also make Analyzer, a GUI sniffer for Win32:

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The rest of this documentation is only interesting if
|
||||
you want to compile Ethereal yourself.
