Re: Npcap 0.01 call for test about Windows loopback traffic capture feature

Hi Yang,

Thank you for looking into implementing this. Sadly, I tried your package
on my Win8.1 x86-64 machine, and found that not only did the new NPF
service not start after uninstalling "real" WinPCap (running the
installation tool manually, with the -il, and -i options didn't seem to do
anything, until rebooting), and then your new NPCap in "compatibility
mode", I had problems connecting to my WLAN, after rebooting (and I also
received a BSOD, at one stage whilst trying to capture on multiple
interfaces).

Unfortunately, I don't know if I can reproduce these issues, or provide any
logging information, this time - but if I get chance, I'll have another
look.

Take care,

Tyson.

Hi list,

In order not to diverge with WinPcap interfaces, I have made a "WinPcap
Mode" for Npcap, it uses the same system32 directory to put DLLs and has
the same "npf" service and driver name. So it can be directly used in
Wireshark without any patch.

Another news is that I have finished Windows loopback packet capture
feature in Npcap, Npcap will install an adapter named "Npcap Loopback
Adapter". And I can see the loopback traffic using Wireshark now (See the
attached pic). It seems to still have problems, like the "(no response
found!)" in the ICMPv6 packets (ping ::1) in the pic. I don't know why
Wireshark shows like this, perhaps you guys can provide me a clue.

The latest Npcap installer is:
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/npcap-nmap-0.01.exe

I have tested this version Npcap under Wireshark 1.12.6 x64, in Windows
8.1 x64 and Windows Server 2016 TP2.

Notice: 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
Mode" is exclusive with WinPcap, so you must uninstall WinPcap first
(installer will prompt you this).

The README is:

The implementation internal about loopback traffic feature is:

Cheers,
Yang
