WinPcap: the Free Packet Capture Architecture for Windows

Docs

WinPcap exports two sets of calls:

  • a set of low-level packet driver functions, used to send/receive packet in "raw" mode
  • a set of high-level packet capture functions that are a superset of the UNIX libpcap library

Throughout this documentation we will refer to the Packet Driver API or Packet.dll as the first set of functions, whereas wpcap.dll or libpcap refers to the more abstract API that is equivalent to the one exported by the UNIX libpcap library.
