PacketFu version 0.2.0

PacketFu v0.2.0 was released today. There's really not a lot to this update, other than the direct inclusion of PcapRub and some more detailed installation instructions -- this week, a couple people wrote me to let me know that the installation instructions were, uh, less than forthcoming.

kballero wrote this Ubuntu forum post that goes into considerable detail on installing all the discrete components and some details on how to make wlan0 the default interface (as opposed to eth0). Many thanks for that!

At any rate, with this new version, I was able to install and run packetfu-shell.rb cleanly on a fresh LiveCD version of Back Track 3, so it should work for pretty much any Linux platform with a reasonbly recent libpcap version (If you get it running on WinXP and OS X, please let me know if you had to do anything special).

Still haven't worked out my performance problems; I suspect I'm going to have to ditch BinData entirely if I can't figure out how to fix it up to be a little more efficient with its recursion.
