Restarting WinPcap development

As you may have noticed, the WinPcap project has been dormant for some time. In order to help the project move forward I've been working with Gianluca to convert the private WinPcap CVS repository to a public Gerrit project at https://code.wireshark.org/review. Additionally Riverbed has agreed to open the WinPcap OEM (aka WinPcap Pro) source code. I'll try to get that merged into the main WinPcap repository soon. My immediate goal is to lend bits of Wireshark's infrastructure to WinPcap so that we can fix compatibility issues with Windows 8 and 10, including support for Microsoft's newer and more strict driver signing requirements. Along with the Gerrit project, a WinPcap builder has been added to the Buildbot master at https://buildbot.wireshark.org/tcpdump/waterfall. The long term goals and direction of the project are less well-defined and are largely up to the community. For example, a strong argument can be made for integrating WinPcap with libpcap. If you have ideas or opinions about this please send them to winpcap-users or tcpdump-workers as appropriate. Many thanks to Loris Degioanni and Gianluca Varenni for creating WinPcap, to Riverbed for providing hosting, and to the various development and user communities for their ongoing support. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
