How to install Nemesis on Ubuntu 10.10

Nemesis is a packet generator tool.



This describes how to install Nemesis from source code on Ubuntu 10.10.

There’s no apt package on Ubuntu 10.10.
So you need to install Nemesis from source code.

I could finally install Nemesis w/ the following Nemesis n’ libnet version.

Ubuntu: 10:10 nemesis-1.4.tar.gz libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz

In case of libnet 1.1.2.1. , I can’t install Nemesis.



- Procedure

1. download nemesis-1.4.tar.gz n’ libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz 2. install libnet 1.0.2a 3. install nemesis 1.4

[ logs including the errors I faced ]



- Download Nemesis source code.

http://nemesis.sourceforge.net/index.html

I downloaded nemesis-1.4.tar.gz.



- install Nemesis

# tar xzvf nemesis-1.4.tar.gz # cd nemesis-1.4/

I face an error. There’s no libnet library.

# ./configure checking for libnet_build_ip in -lnet... no   ERROR!  Libnet library not found, go get it from   http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet/   or use the --with-libnet-* options, if you have it installed   in unusual place

- Before installing Nemsis , install libnet at first.

download n’ iinstall libnet-1.1.2.1.tar.gz ( google it out to get libnet )

# tar xzvf libnet-1.1.2.1.tar.gz # cd libnet/ # ./configure ; make ; make install

# whereis libnet libnet: /usr/lib/libnet.a /usr/include/libnet /usr/include/libnet.h # ls /usr/include/libnet* /usr/include/libnet.h /usr/include/libnet: libnet-asn1.h       libnet-headers.h  libnet-structures.h libnet-functions.h  libnet-macros.h   libnet-types.h

- install Nemesis again

# tar xzvf nemesis-1.4.tar.gz # cd nemesis-1.4/

Unn, see an error.
