Hello,
I want to install additional packages like dsniff because users should only access websites from an whitelist.
Some of these websites are SSL so I cannot use a proxy because I'm getting certificate errors.
I created topics but that doesn't brought me to my target:
[1] https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=44559
[2] https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=46694

I have installed the following image:
[3] http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … actory.img

But as you know the dsniff, libpcap and other packages are not on the feed but it is on the sources:
[4] http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/

Package: dsniff
Version: 2.4b1-2
Depends: libpcap, libnids, libnet0, libopenssl, libgdbm
Source: /home/san1/tests/openwrt/packages/net/dsniff
Section: net
Priority: optional
Maintainer: OpenWrt Developers Team <openwrt-devel@openwrt.org>
Architecture: mipsel
Description: A collection of tools for betwork auditing and penetration testing

I installed the buildroot on debian wheezy following this wiki site: [5] http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence
I applied the steps 1, 2, 4 and 5. On step 3 I did this:

cd ~/openwrt/trunk
./scripts/feeds update -a

Then I searched and found the package dsniff with find ~/openwrt/trunk/ -name *dsniff*

/home/user/openwrt/trunk/tmp/info/.packageinfo-feeds_packages_dsniff
/home/user/openwrt/trunk/feeds/packages/net/dsniff
/home/user/openwrt/trunk/feeds/packages.tmp/info/.packageinfo-net_dsniff
/home/user/openwrt/trunk/package/feeds/packages/dsniff

Now I have 2 possibilities:
1. compile the necessary packages, create an ipk and install it
2. select the necessary packages in make menuconfig and build an own image

For possiblility 1.: How to do this?
Normally I do this on the machine I work:

./configure
make
make install

For possiblility 2.: Where can I find the settings file with which the image [3] has been created so that I can load it in make menuconfig to be sure to build the same working image?
At the moment I cannot select dsniff in make menuconfig.

Have you already done "./scripts/feeds install -a" ?
That is needed before make menuconfig. 

First select the package in make menuconfig
Then say "make package/XXX/compile"

Then transfer the opkg installable package XXX-xxx.ipk from <buildroot>/bin/ar71xx/ you your router (via ftp, scp, or whatever you have installed...). Transfer it e.g. to router's /tmp directory

Then login to router console and say "opkg install /tmp/XXX-xxx.ipk".

EDIT:
Why don't you install those packages from the 12.09 package repository?
Ready-compiled add-on packages are there.
opkg update
opkg install xxxx

I have done "./scripts/feeds install -a"  but make menuconfig does not show dsniff under Network --->.

Are you sure?

The package is there, only it is marked as broken, to make it visible:
# make menuconfig
go into the submenu:  Advanced configuration options (for developers)
and select Show broken platforms / packages
then all the packages marked as broken can be selected.

Package dsniff is under the submenu: Network

to compile and create the ipk you can type:
# make package/dsniff/{compile,install}
the package (.ipk) then can be found under ./bin/*/packages/

Anyway goodluck.
