There is no package called arpspoof. To use the arpspoof command, you have to install the dsniff package. You can install it like this:

$ sudo apt install dsniff ​

Now, you can run the arspoof  command.

Hope this helps!

Thank You!

E: packet dsniff can not be found

please help
What's your ubuntu version though? coz old versions could have reached its end of life and its repository may have been removed.
aslo me not working
Check your ubuntu version. It might be coz of compatibility issues.
This solution doesn't seem to work anymore.  Has dsniff been removed?   Used to be included in Kali image, but is no longer, and installation attempts fail to find the package

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt-get install dsniff
[sudo] password for kali:

Hi,

I think you didn't enable the repositories. Every software comes from some repository. So check which repository you are missing.
Hi
Dont use '-get'
Just use' sudo apt install dsniff'

I found out that arpspoof is a tool from the dsniff package. As long as you install it, then the arpspoof is ready to be used.

The tool used here is called arpspoof and is distributed in the dsniff package.
