packet capturing

Hello,
what kind of driver is most suitable for capturing network packets ?
NDIS intermediate or NDIS transport ?

If your purpose is capture only and you don’t intend to modify the
stream of packets (i.e., modify them or accept/deny passing them), then
doing a transport protocol driver would be much easier. Set your packet
filter to ALL_LOCAL or PROMISUOUS.

The Windows XP DDK “NDISUIO” sample is a good place to start. Also search
for “Win PCap” on the net.

After looking at them, also take the “Rawether Tour” at
http://www.rawether.net to get some additional thoughts about writing NDIS
protocol drivers.

Good luck,
