An ettercap is one of a race of bestial spider-men in the Dungeons & Dragons game. The name may be related to attercop, an archaic word for poisonous spider, used in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
Ettercap is an open source software tool for computer network protocol analysis and security cracking. It can be used to intercept traffic on a network segment, capture passwords, and conduct man-in-the-middle attacks against a number of common protocols.
