[Winpcap-users] Non-Promiscuous Installer?

[James Brown]

Thanks for the reply,

 

Yeah I know simply replacing the dll will circumvent this and allow the
students to use promiscuous mode, this should stop the majority. 

 

Has anyone successfully built an up-to-date MSI installer for WinPcap who
can give me any hints on how to get it working so it installs successfully
on other machines?

 

Cheers,

 

James

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
