Description:

Ostinato is a network packet and traffic generator and analyzer with a friendly GUI. It aims to be "Wireshark in Reverse" and thus become complementary to Wireshark. It features custom packet crafting with editing of any field for several protocols: Ethernet, 802.3, LLC SNAP, VLAN (with Q-in-Q), ARP, IPv4, IPv6, IP-in-IP a.k.a IP Tunneling, TCP, UDP, ICMPv4, ICMPv6, IGMP, MLD, HTTP, SIP, RTSP, NNTP, etc. It is useful for both functional and performance testing.

NOTE: You need admin/root privileges to run Ostinato

Unfortunately protobuf 2.4.0 made an option value change that was not backward compatible.

Use the following diff to fix it -
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-analyzer/ostinato/files/protobuf-2.4.0.diff?revision=1.1&view=markup

For further follow ups and in future, the Ostinato mailing list would be a better place to contact!

Dang, It doesn't install on Debian.

@greycash: What problem are you facing with installation? Missing libraries? If so, try installing those libraries first before trying to install Ostinato.

For the future, request for an "official" Ostinato package for debian - http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

Hi,
The error went like this:

p libprotobuf-java - Java bindings for protocol buffers

So the problem isn't that easy to fix. I'll vote for a Debian package.

Cheers.
