As we continue down the yellow brick road to land of Ubertooth, we must deal with libpcap. More specifically we need to install libpcap.
So what is libpcap?
It is a packet capturing library. One assumes that since it is focused on the user level of packet capturing that it maybe needed to deal with the individual data produced by Ubertooth. I assume that the packet it produces uses this library to produce them. That is just a guess but I suspect there is a chance it is correct. Regardless, it is a Ubertooth prerequisite so that is what we will install.
Anyway, lets dig into how to install libpcap.
Install libpcap
As always you need to get to your desktop of your Kali instance and open the terminal.
At the terminal screen enter apt-get install libpcap-dev and press the enter key.
Like all the libraries we have done, enjoy your techno-babble and you will probably get a confirmation question. This question should be related to using hard drive space. You can see it below.
Once done you should be complete. If it is already on the computer then it will tell you a updated message.
That is all for this library. Leave your questions or comments below.
