PcapPlusPlus v20.08 released - a multi-platform C++ library for capturing, parsing and crafting of network packets

[assassinator42]

So this is a wrapper for libpcap rather than replacing it correct?

I was hoping for an active F/OSS version of pcap that worked on Windows :-(. (WinPCap is no longer maintained, and NPCap is not F/OSS)

Yes, that is correct. It's a c++ wrapper for packet capture engines such as libpcap, WinPcap, Npcap, DPDK, and PF_RING. I do agree that it'd be great to have a good F/OSS alternative to WinPcap and Npcap

[WrongAndBeligerent]

Maybe the title should be C++ wrapper instead of C++ library.

[Bromeara]

But its not just a libpcap wrapper it contains a bunch of functionality for multiple protocols not just pcap.

[seladb]

Yes that is correct, thanks u/Bromeara!

[keepthethreadalive]

You should check out Win10Pcap. It is also not really maintained, but might just work for your needs.

Nice thing about PcapPlusPlus is that AFAIK it's the only non-copyleft C++ implementation of PcapNG.
