-
-* General information
-
- ziffy is a promiscuous Z39.50 APDU sniffer, like the popular tcpdump.
- ziffy can capture and show all Z39.50 traffic on your LAN segment.
-
- To perform its task ziffy needs at least two extra packages providing the
- following functionalities:
-
- (a) a portable framework for low-level network capturing facility
- (b) BER decoding, printing and freeing routines
-
-
- I compiled and run ziffy on my `explosive' linux intel based box with:
-
- (a) libpcap 0.4a6 API, Copyright (c) 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997
- by The Regents of the University of California
-
-
- (b) X/ASN.1 Toolkit 1.0.0, Copyright (c) 1989-1998 by Finsiel S.p.A.
- (c) YAZ Toolkit 1.7 API, Copyright (c) 1995-2001 by Index Data
- (d) SNACC Toolkit 1.3 API, Copyright (c) 1991, 1993 by Michael Sample and UCB

- ziffy depends on a couple of extra packages for working properly:
-
- - libpcap, the Packet Capture Library. It can be found at:
-
- ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z
-
-
- at least one of:
-
- - X/ASN.1 Toolkit from Finsiel S.p.A.
- contact us at zeta@tlcpi.finsiel.it if you need more information
-
-
- - YAZ Toolkit, the so popular "Yet Another Z39.50 Toolkit" from Index Data.
-
- You can find the YAZ Toolkit in:
-
- ftp://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/yaz-1.7.tar.gz
-
- for more information about YAZ please visit:
- http://www.indexdata.dk
-
-
- - SNACC Toolkit, the "Sample Neufeld ASN.1 to C Compiler".
-
- You can find the most recent (1.3) version of SNACC at:
-
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/freeware/snacc/snacc-1.3.tar.gz
-
- [
- old version 1.1, but commonly used, is in:
- ftp://ftp.cs.ucb.ca/pub/local/src/snacc/snacc-1.1.tar.Z

-
-
-<PLEASE>
- If you know of other freeware ASN.1 Toolkits, please drop me a note.
- I will try to include them in all future versions of ziffy.
-</PLEASE>
-
-
-
-* Platforms
-
- Sun Solaris 2.5.1 and/or 2.6
- ix?86 Linux 2.0.X (bug on it! be patient until I have time to fix it!)
-
-
-* Installation
-
- o To compile ziffy, you need to build and install libpcap and the
- YAZ Toolkit or SNACC Toolkit first, or both at your choice
-
- o Run "./configure" if you have libpcap and SNACC/YAZ Toolkit on standard
- places. Otherwise, to build from source distributions, run:
-
- ./configure --with-pcap-dir=your_libpcap_location
- --with-yaz-dir=your_yaz_location --with-snacc-dir=your_snacc_location
-
- "configure" will determine your system attributes and generate
- an appropriate Makefile from Makefile.in.
-
- o Run "make". If everything is ok, you should have a binary
- called "ziffy".
-
- o Run "make install". everything will go to the right places.
