  1. Open your browser and navigate to the trusted open-source repository (e.g., the Ettercap-Standalone releases or a trusted mirror like SecTools).
  2. Look for a file named: ettercap-0.8.3.1-x64.exe or Ettercap_0.8.3_win64.zip.
    • Note: Version numbers may change, but ensure “x64”, “64-bit”, or “win64” is in the filename.
  3. Verify the file hash (SHA256) if provided to ensure integrity.
