Ettercap (http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/) runs in terminal w/ blue screen
if you use the ncurses gui. The following is a quote from their web site. 

"Ettercap is a suite for man in the middle attacks on LAN. It features
sniffing of live connections, content filtering on the fly and many other
interesting tricks.
It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered
ones) and includes many features for network and host analysis."
