WinPcap is a network packet capture library designed for Windows operating systems. Wireshark is a popular packet capturing and security tool. Wireshark developers created the WinPcap in order to tap into the network of Windows systems and capture packets. Recently the development of the WinPcap is stopped with the version of WinPcap 4.1.3.
WinPcap Development Stopped and Do not Supports Windows 10
For 15 years WinPcap was the defacto and standard libpcap library for Windows operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 8. With the release of Windows 10 WinPcap functionality is broken because NDIS 5 was not supported by Windows 10. Another popular project Nmap has emerged and created libpcap library with the NDIS 6 API support which is designed for Windows 10 operating system. Alternatively, you can install Ncap for libpcap functionality on all Windows operating systems especially Windows 10.
