Installing Nemesis on Ubuntu/BackTrack

Ok. Simple Post to explain how to go about installing Nemesis on Ubuntu/BackTrack.

What is nemesis?
Nemesis is a packet crafting/sending utility. It, much like hping3, allows you to craft and send packets of a few different protocols. I mainly use it for crafting/sending ARP packets for ARP poisoning, and my tool "arptoxin" uses it.

Step One: Sudo Bash
i.e. you must be root.

Step Two: Install Dependancies
apt-get install libdnet-dev
apt-get install libpcap-dev

Step Three: Install libnet
cd /usr
mkdir nembuild
cd nembuild
wget http://ips-builder.googlecode.com/files/libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz
tar -xf libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz
cd Libnet-1.0.2a
./configure
make && make install

Step Four: Install Nemesis
cd /usr/nembuild (if not still there!)
wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/nemesis/nemesis/1.4/nemesis-1.4.tar.gz
tar -xf nemesis-1.4.tar.gz
cd nemesis-1.4
./configure --with-libnet-includes=/usr/nembuild/Libnet-1.0.2a/include --with-libnet-libraries=/usr/nembuild/Libnet-1.0.2a/lib
make && make install

Done! Nemesis SHOULD look like this...
