Re: Capture Loopback Traffic on Windows

[Manuel König via Wireshark-dev <wireshark-dev () wireshark org>]

Hmm, i ran into the issue that the npcap loopback adapter didn‘t showed up in the latest Wireshark 3.0.1 after 
installing it in a Win10 1809 VM. No matter what I did.
The adapter was installed and shown in the device manager but not in Wireshark.
After I installed the Linux subsystem it showed up and worked flawlessly.

Regards,
Manuel König

As does using Npcap as capture engine.

Hi,

I stumbled upon the wiki article about the Loopback capture setup (https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Loopback).
Under Supported Platforms it's stated that it's not possible to capture loopback traffic on Windows.

I would add an asterisk to that, because on Windows 10 with the Subsystem for Linux installed you are able to capture 
this kind of traffic.
