It's been years since Wireshark recommended a new version of WinPCap<http://www.winpcap.org/> (it's been v4.1.2 for years). Is this packet capture library still alive?
Don't know you will have to check at http://www.winpcap.org/ and the mailing lists for that project. Wireshark "just" picks up whatever comes out of that project. Wireshark developers are not directly involved in that project we are just users of that library justr as we are users of libpcap on other platforms. It looks like the project might have stalled which is a bit worrying for Windows users. When I run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant<http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8>, it reports that WinPCap 4.1.2 is incompatible with Windows 8. Are there plans to release WinPCap for Windows 8? Don't know you wll have to check with them as per above. As stated on ask.wireshark it should be possible to install Wireshark using the compabillity setting. Has the project moved elsewhere? Not as far as I know. Regards Anders
