Hi,
I have some program that requires installation of WinPcap that this program
could work.
As I we know, WinPcap is API for packet capturing and filtering engines, and
consists of drivers, that use NDIS to read packets directly from a network
adapter, implementations of a lower-level library for those OSes, to
communicate with those drivers; a port of libpcap that uses the API offered
by the low-level library implementations. So this WinPcap works at low
level driver.
My questions is: is the WinPcap technology safe enough for my operating
system stability?
On my system run important applications, from other hand, this utility
itself has no high priority for me, and I want be assured, that my system
will work stably, in safety and without unpleasant 'surprises'.
