Hi List!
Just noted, that someone has installed a fake Ethereal site at (don't know for how long it's online): http://www.etheral.com/ 

It has links as: Download Ethereal, Network Analyzer, Sniffer, ...

Containing only links to itself, probably to increase Google hits or such.


Sounds like a "typosquatter":

I suppose we should be honored that we're the target of a typosquatter; I guess it validates our importance....
