How to Install
A precompiled version is available for each release, alternatively you can use the latest version of the source code from this repository in order to build your own binary.
Make sure you have a correctly configured Go >= 1.8 environment, that
$GOPATH/bin
is in $PATH
, that the libpcap-dev
and libnetfilter-queue-dev
(this one is only required on Linux) package installed for your system and then:$ go get github.com/bettercap/bettercap
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/bettercap/bettercap
$ make build && sudo make install
This command will download bettercap, install its dependencies, compile it and move the bettercap
executable to /usr/local/bin
.Now you can use
sudo bettercap -h
to show the basic command line options and just sudo bettercap
to start an interactive session on your default network interface, otherwise you can load a caplet.Once bettercap is installed, you can download/update system caplet with the command:
sudo bettercap -eval "caplets.update; q"
Update

$ go get -u github.com/bettercap/bettercap
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/bettercap/bettercap
$ make build && sudo make install
