Here are the docs from the ethereal web page. I was able to make it work with XP Pro using the beta WinPCAP driver. G. If you are using Windows XP, read the next two paragraphs before proceeding any further!!! If you are using Windows XP, the current version of the WinPcap packet driver will NOT work; you will have to use the 2.3 beta version. As it is a beta version, it may have more bugs than the current version; please report those bugs to winpcap@netgroup-serv.polito.it, so that they can try to fix them for the final 2.3 release. The 2.3 beta download is available from the WinPcap download page; it appears after the 2.2 download. If you are using Windows XP, do not download and install WinPcap 2.2, as it will not work. If you want to be able to capture packets with Ethereal on Windows XP, you must download and install the 2.3 beta version; note that it's a beta version, so if you install it, the risk that you will encounter bugs is greater. -----Original Message----- From: Simon [mailto:simonat_private] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 7:51 AM To: PenTest Subject: Sniffers, scanners and XP raw packet drivers Folks, Anyone had any success getting Ethereal and other tools to work under Windows XP Pro? even if Winpcap installed: Ethereal won't find an interface, ISS can't find raw packet drivers for some of its scans are disabled Nmapnt can't find any suitable interfaces Foundstone fport won't resolve ports to process owners (although fscan and superscan run fine) .... (the list goes on) All these worked on my laptop nicely under Windows 2000? Does anyone have a solution to this? I guess what I need is a raw packet capture driver that works under winXP... Any ideas? Aaarrrgggh, Simon, CISSP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
