Hi list,

Accomplishments
 * Call for Test: Npcap 0.04-r2 & Nmap for Npcap r35081 Call for test.
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q3/213
<http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q3/213>

 * Bug Fix: Fixed the bug that Npcap loopback adapter fails to use capture
filter when capturing, no packets return if using like "icmp", this is
because only first MDL is examined, while loopback packets have at least
two MDLs.
https://github.com/nmap/npcap/commit/732055984a2327076a92b1010dab4a94a52923ca

 * Bug Fix: Fixed the bug reported by Jim Young that Npcap fails to capture
all chargen protocol packets. This is because Npcap only reads the first
NetBuffer data, while chargen packets store data in multiple NetBuffer
structs.
https://github.com/nmap/npcap/commit/3d31c0be894b22debcd7635092a5259e59acc56a

 * Bug Fix: Fixed the bug that Npcap didn't finish IRP when opening adapter
fails, this perhaps causes some issues, like the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
BSoD.
https://github.com/nmap/npcap/commit/c9fe290e42f50f3a4723f32c2322eb8ef0e73da5

 * New Feature: Modified Nmap and Nping code to be able to use Npcap
loopback sending and receiving feature, it' working now, see the call for
test for details.

 * Other trivial bug fix and improvements this week, can be seen here:

The latest Npcap installer is:
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/npcap-nmap-0.04-r2.exe

I have tested this version in Windows 8.1 x64.

Notice:
1) 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
Compatible Mode" is exclusive with WinPcap, so you must uninstall WinPcap
first (installer will prompt you this).
2) If you have installed WinPcap, better to reboot the PC after
uninstalling WinPcap and then install Npcap.

The README is:

Priorities
 * Continue the stability and performance test for Npcap.
 * Work on integration of Nmap and Npcap.
 * Have a meeting with Fyodor for the next plan.


Cheers,
Yang
