It seems driftnet doesn't work for IPv6. It also won't show png files.

Driftnet development has been discontinued nearly ten years ago. I am
just providing the Debian package as long as possible trying to fix
security issues. Unless someone steps up to maintain driftnet again it
is not likely to get that functionaliy. My C skills aren't good enough
either. It is more likely that driftnet will be removed from Debian in
the future.

Did some googling and found that in fedora core 8 some fixes where
merged in that distribution.
I pulled the tarball out of the source rpm and build it on my debian
system and got it to work!
You'll find that tarfile attached.

I recently package the last svn version, modification date is 2004/04/26, it
supports IPv6. I did a new upstream release (driftnet-0.1.7), just waiting for
a sponsor to upload it. Maybe this bug can be closed ?

Sorry for the delay since your last email. Do you intend to become the new developer to continue the development of 'driftnet'? Have you talked to the Chris Lightfoot (the actual developer of 'driftnet') about taking over the development?

I'm glad that someone continues to work on the software. But I can only point the Debian package to the homepage http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/driftnet/ and tere the 0.1.6 version was the last release. I fear that this will confuse users.
