WinPcap

The Packet Capture and Network Monitoring Library for Windows

WinDump

tcpdump for Windows

WinDump is able to use the interfaces exported by WinPcap. WinDump can run on all the operating systems supported by WinPcap, i.e. Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Longhorn/Vista.

  • windump -p : Capture in non-promiscuous mode.
  • windump -D : Show available interfaces.
  • windump -i 2 : Select the second network interface. It is easier to specify the interface number rather than by name.

myNetMon

  • It does not seem to work with the lateset WinPcap.
