News And Releases

15 September 2018

WinPcap, though still available for download (v4.1.3), has not seen an upgrade
in many years and there are no road map/future plans to update the technology.
While community support may persist, technical oversight by Riverbed staff,
responses to questions posed by Riverbed resources, and bug reporting are no
longer available.

Gordon Lyon, Nmap project founder, has created Npcap, a packet capture library
for Windows, that includes WinPcap compatibility and may be a suitable
replacement for WinPcap and WinPcap Pro. Information can be found at
https://nmap.org/npcap/.

Introduction to WinPcap

For many years, WinPcap has been recognized as the industry-standard tool for
link-layer network access in Windows environments, allowing applications to
capture and transmit network packets bypassing the protocol stack, and including
kernel-level packet filtering, a network statistics engine and support for
remote packet capture.

WinPcap consists of a driver that extends the operating system to provide
low-level network access and a library that is used to easily access low-level
network layers. This library also contains the Windows version of the well-known
libpcap Unix API.

Thanks to its set of features, WinPcap has been the packet capture and filtering
engine for many open source and commercial network tools, including protocol
analyzers, network monitors, network intrusion detection systems, sniffers,
traffic generators and network testers. Some of these networking tools, like
Wireshark, Nmap, Snort, and ntop are known and used throughout the networking
community.

Winpcap.org is also the home of WinDump, the Windows version of the popular
tcpdump tool. WinDump can be used to watch, diagnose and save to disk network
traffic according to various complex rules.
