Description Gabriel 2010-12-27 11:14:18 UTC

The paper pointed by the url is mostly hackers bragging, however it claims that ettercap was backdoored for a long time.

Probably worth checking.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ettercap
2.
3.

We are not participating in the spreading of FUD.
Reopen this bug if there is credible evidence of a backdoor.
