User-level software such as Nping can just send the packets out using Npcap Loopback Adapter just like any other adapter. Loopback Packet Injection: Npcap is also able to send loopback packets using the Winsock Kernel (WSK) technique. Try it by typing in commands like “ping 127.0.0.1” (IPv4) or “ping ::1” (IPv6). If you are a Wireshark user, choose this adapter to capture, you will see all loopback traffic the same way as other non-loopback adapters. After installation, Npcap will create an adapter named Npcap Loopback Adapter for you. Loopback Packet Capture: Npcap is able to sniff loopback packets (transmissions between services on the same machine) by using the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP). We’ve also enabled the Windows ASLR and DEP security features and signed the driver, DLLs, and executables to prevent tampering. This is conceptually similar to UNIX, where root access is generally required to capture packets. If a non-Admin user tries to utilize Npcap through software such as Nmap or Wireshark, the user will have to pass a User Account Control (UAC) dialog to utilize the driver.

Also, the driver is signed with our EV certificate and countersigned by Microsoft, so it works even with the stricter driver signing requirements in Windows 10 1607.Įxtra Security: Npcap can (optionally) be restricted so that only Administrators can sniff packets. It’s faster than the deprecated NDIS 5 API, which Microsoft could remove at any time. WinPcap for Windows 10: Npcap works on Windows 7 and later by making use of the new NDIS 6 Light-Weight Filter (LWF) API. It is based on the discontinued WinPcap library, but with improved speed, portability, security, and efficiency. Npcap is the Nmap Project’s packet sniffing (and sending) library for Windows. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer ( Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool ( Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results ( Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool ( Nping).

Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts.
Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics.

Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source ( license) utility for network discovery and security auditing.
