How do I start using WAAT-Ruby?

Follow the instructions provided in WAAT-Ruby-Setup

I cannot obtain the list of network interfaces or cannot capture any packets. Why?

It may be because you don't have administrative privileges, which are required to run Jpcap-based applications.

  • On Windows 2000/XP, your account should be in the Administrator group.

  • On Windows Vista, even if your account is in the administrator group, you still need to use "run as administrator" option. To use the option, right-click the application icon, and choose "run as administrator". If your application is command-line based, you need to open Command Prompt by using "run as administrator" option, and run your application within that Command Prompt.

  • On Linux/UNIX, you need to become a super user by using 'su' command , or use 'sudo' command to run Jpcap-based applications.
