[Winpcap-users] Npcap 0.04, based on original WinPcap 4.1.3, call for test

[Mark Pizzolato - Winpcap-Users]

Hi Yang,

Thanks for doing this.

I have 2 comments and one bug/issue.

Comments:

1)      Windows XP and Vista systems are still somewhat common.  It would be great if the installer could be setup to install the original WinPcap binaries on these platforms.  Then there could be a single pcap installer for all Windows platforms.

2)      The Administrator mode is a good enhancement.  It would be nice if a middle position (between completely open and completely admin) were available for some environments.  Maybe membership in a paritular security group….

Bug/Issue:

With the Npcap package installed, I was unable to map a shared folder for a system on my LAN which had worked previously.   Uninstalling the Npcap package immediately allowed access to the shared folder on the other system.

Maybe you want to enable ‘issues’ in the github repository to track things like this.

Thanks again.

Hi list,

Npcap is an update of WinPcap to NDIS 6 Light-Weight Filter (LWF) technique. Within Google Summer of Code 2013 and 2015, Npcap has added many features and become stable in its 0.04 version. I hope that you guys could test its functionalities, and I'd like to see WinPcap official adopt features of Npcap.

The features of Npcap are listed as belows:
1) NDIS 6 Support
2) "Admin-only Mode" Support
3) "WinPcap Compatible Mode" Support
4) Loopback Packets Capture Support
5) Loopback Packets Send Support

For more details, please go to:
https://github.com/nmap/npcap

The lastest installer will always be in:
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/

The current latest version is:
npcap-nmap-0.04-r5.exe<https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/npcap-nmap-0.04-r5.exe>

Notice:
1) You need to try it under Win7 and later, and no need to change the installation options, just click the "Next"s. Npcap installed in "WinPcap Compatible Mode" is exclusive with WinPcap, so you must uninstall WinPcap first (installer will prompt you this).
2) If you have installed WinPcap, better to reboot the PC after uninstalling WinPcap and then install Npcap.


Cheers,
Yang
