Windows 2000 uses winsock 2.2 that supports raw sockect similar to the way
Unix does. A packet driver is not required. Natas is one example, found at

Subject: [PEN-TEST] Deploying a Win32 Sniffer


I have heard several people say that once you compromise a minor target you
might want to install a packet sniffer to pickup IDs and passwords on the
wire.

The sniffers I have used (for example, DSniff for Win32) require a packet
driver to be installed on the system and it be rebooted. Is there some way
to sniff IDs/Passwords without that type of packet driver?
