Other License: 
Package: yersinia
System name: yersinia
Type: non-GNU

Description:
yersinia is written in C, and it runs in Linux, *BSD and
Solaris. It is a framework to perform layer 2 attacks
helping the pen-tester. Multiple attacks can be executed in
parallel. It does not pretend to be an ettercap competitor,
since its aims are different. It supports concurrent users
and parallel attacks.

Currently several attacks are available, all of them focused
in the protocols weaknesses. Example of these protocols are: 
CDP, BGP, HSRP, ... Multiple users can run different attacks 
selecting different network interfaces. Some of the attacks 
are DoS, other are implemented to gain control over networks 
or devices. 

Currently it has three main modes: ncurses gui, command line 
execution, or network daemon. It uses libnet and libpcap for 
the network issues, libncurses or libcurses for the GUI, and 
pthreads for the multithreading.

There is some documentation about the attacks implemented, 
and also some workarounds for mitigating the attacks.

It can be also used as a tool for network administrators for 
monitoring these protocols


Other Software Required:
libnet
libpcap
libncurses
libpthreads
