James,

sorry for the late answer.

The easiest way to do that is to install the vanilla version of WinPcap and then substitute the right DLLs in the system.

Consider that modifying just the DLLs is not of big help. People can use the original DLLs from WinPcap and capture in promiscuous mode, even as non administrators.

Have a nice day

  Hello,

   

  I have been asked to install wireshark/winpcap on the machines within a few of our university labs. They require this to be within an msi package so it can be deployed remotely and for it to only operate in none promiscuous mode.  I have modified the source, and compiled the two dlls such that it doesn't enter promiscuous mode, and this has been tested and works on my test machine. I can build an MSI package for wireshark no problem. 

   

  However, installing winpcap is giving me problems. The method I used on the test machine was to install the stock version and simply replace the dll's after installation - which worked. I tried capturing this processing within an MSI package but after "successful" installation no interfaces are presented in wireshark.

   

  Has anyone done anything similar to the above who can point me in the correct direction?

   

  Cheers,

   

  James
