i can confirm this. it seems as if dsniff didn't receive packages from the network. i also was not able to compile this package myself.

I can confirm this, too. Urlsnarf works, though.

I have to confirm this, too. Wether my URLSNARF or any app out of the DSNIFF suite grabs any data. Wireshark, Etherrape work fine. I read somewhere that this is a problem with the libnids?

I tested your patch but this doesn't fix the problem :( but thank you

Now I changed to ETTERCAP which works fine and offers similar features

That's all about libnids.
If you read libnids docs carefuly, you'll find that it reconstructs a TCP session only if it catched the start of the TCP connection and if the connection was closed properly.

In the other words it is nesessary for dsniff to be on a job when you start sniffing.

I have to agree with cuziamtasty, this was just a misunderstanding of what dsniff does. Closing as Invalid.
