WinPcap, the Free Packet Capture Architecture for Windows
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILS
<http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/> WinPcap is an architecture for
packet capture and network analysis for the Win32 platforms. It includes a
kernel-level packet filter, a low-level dynamic link library (packet.dll),
and a high-level and system-independent library (wpcap.dll, based on
libpcap version 0.5).
The packet filter is a device driver that adds to Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows ME, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 the ability to capture and send
raw data from a network card, with the possibility to filter and store in
a buffer the captured packets.
Packet.dll is an API that can be used to access directly the functions of
the packet driver, offering a programming interface independent from the
Microsoft OS.
Wpcap.dll exports a set of high-level capture primitives that are
compatible with libpcap, the famous UNIX capture library. These functions
allow capturing packets in a way independent from the underlying network
hardware and operating system.
