Description
Do i need to have root permissions to always use tcpreplay ? I tried using it in my script and it threw the following error : " Warning: May need to run as root to get complete list.
Fatal Error: Can't open eth0: socket: Operation not permitted
"
But tcprewrite had no issues on being executed.Please let me know if i can use tcpreplay without root permissions because i cant provide root access to all who use my script in my project.
Kindly mail your reply to nikhilnitc@… Regards, Nikhil.
