| WinPcap is the industry-standard tool for link-layer
network access in Windows environments: it allows
applications to capture and transmit network packets
bypassing the protocol stack, and has additional
useful features, 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 the
low-level network layers. This library also contains
the Windows version of the well known libpcap Unix
API. |
