+dhcp-probe
+==========
+
+dhcp-probe is intended to be used by network administrators to locate
+unknown BootP and DHCP servers on a directly-attached network.
+
+dhcp-probe is intended for use by a network administrator.  Before
+running the program on any network other than one for which you are
+responsible, contact that network's administrator to learn if it is
+acceptable for you to run this software on that network.  Running this
+software on a network where you don't have permission to do so may
+violate that network's acceptable use policy.
+
+For help, see the [dhcp_probe(8)][] and [dhcp_probe.cf(5)][] man pages.
+
+
+Build & Install
+---------------
+
+The program depends on libpcap and libnet (>1.3), patched earlier
+versions of libnet, compatible with dhcp-probe, are available in
+most Linux distributions.  On Debian/Ubuntu derived systems:
+
+    sudo apt install libpcap-dev libnet1-dev
+
+The dhcp-probe configure script and Makefile supports de facto standard
+settings and environment variables such as `--prefix=PATH` and `DESTDIR=`
+for the install process.  For example, to install dhcp-probe to `/usr`,
+instead of the default `/usr/local`, and redirect install to a package
+directory in `/tmp`:
+
+    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
+    make
+    make DESTDIR=/tmp/dhcp-probe-1.4.0 install-strip
+
+
+Building from GIT
+-----------------
+
+If you want to contribute, or simply just try out the latest but
+unreleased features, then you need to know a few things about the
+[GNU build system][buildsystem]:
+
+- `configure.ac` and a per-directory `Makefile.am` are key files
+- `configure` and `Makefile.in` are generated from `autogen.sh`
+- `Makefile` is generated by `configure` script
+
+To build from GIT you first need to clone the repository and run the
+`autogen.sh` script.  This requires `automake` and `autoconf` to be
+installed on your system (not required when you build from released
+tarballs):
+
+    git clone https://github.com/libnet/dhcp-probe.git
+    cd dhcp-probe/
+    ./autogen.sh
+    ./configure && make
+
+GIT sources are a moving target and are not recommended for production
+systems, unless you know what you are doing!
+
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+The basic functionality has been tested thoroughly over the years, but
+that does not mean the program is bug free.  Please report bugs, feature
+requests, patches and pull requests at [GitHub][repo].

+
+Origin & References
+-------------------
+
+This software was created by the Network Systems Group at Princeton
+University's Office of Information Technology, <networking at princeton
+dot edu>.  With Irwin Tillman as the principal author.  The project is
+now maintained by the [Libnet project](https://github.com/libnet/).
+
+`dhcp_probe` was intended for our use at Princeton University, so was
+written to operate on the platform(s) we use, with the features we need.
+As others have asked for the software, we've made it generally available, 
+however, we do not have the resources available to port it to additional 
+platforms or add features.
+
+The product is free, however, it includes code that was published in
+other programs; those parts are subject to the copyright and license
+restrictions listed in these files:
+
+ - `src/report.c`
+ - `src/daemonize.c`
+ - `src/get_myeaddr.c`
+ - `src/get_myipaddr.c`

+the authors or Princeton University be liable for any direct, indirect,
+incidental, special exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but
+not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of
+use, data, or profits; or business interruption) however caused and on
+any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort
+(including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of
+this software, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.
