Been trying to get this bad boy to work under wine for a while now but just won't.
Don't get me wrong I like etterape and ethereal (or wireshark, what ever the fk it's called now) but they just aren't the same as my favorite, Cain and Able.

 Anyway just looking for some way to get it working under wine with correct support for ETH1 (my wireless) or at least a program that is pretty similar to it.

The bottom line is, Linux != Windows. Wine does a good job for getting a lot of Windows programs working in Linux, but if you're banging your head against the wall trying to get C&A working in Linux, it would probably be easier to use programs written for Linux. If you list what features of C&A do you need, maybe we can suggest some alternatives.

yeah well welcome to linux and welcome to security...


what exactly are you trying to do and maybe someone can point you in the right direction?

Hey thanks for posting here.  If you have been in linux for years thats cool. To be honest, I dont think your choice of books has much value. To be blunt, I think that book is weak!
 
 I love linux with my entire heart but it doesn't always answer your needs unless you can program.  Linux only comes to fruition to those that can tweak and change things. Its the ultimate "hackers" OS. 
 
 Wine is really a drink to get you inspired, not much of a simulator.  If anyone wants to pay me, I will be happy to convert windows apps to linux.   I was a bit surpised that cain and able never came out for linux, but oh well. The idea is if you are hacking windows, there is an advantage with a windows app.  Well, sorry I never believed that but oh well. There is nothing similar and I suppose thats one more reason to dual boot. Damn you Bill Gates! Your best bet is to collect as many linux apps as possible and try to go from there.

 I bought the book when I was first getting into computers more than just the hardware (Got the 1st edition back in 1999 I think it was).

Just picked up the 2nd edition yesterday.
The book is a great read I must say, I know that there are way more books out there that have much more detailed information but this book was pretty good the 1st time around and is still the same way.

 Though I do wish I would have bought "I am American (and so can you)!".
