Npcap is primarily used for packet capturing and analysis in network monitoring tools like Wireshark. Here are its main uses:
-
Packet Capture: It captures network packets for analysis, helping users monitor traffic between devices.
-
Network Diagnostics: Useful for troubleshooting network issues by allowing users to inspect packets in real-time.
-
Loopback Traffic Analysis: Supports capturing traffic from the local machine, which is crucial for debugging applications and services that communicate over the loopback interface.
-
Security Monitoring: Enables network security professionals to analyze traffic for suspicious activity and potential intrusions.
-
Development and Testing: Developers can use Npcap to create and test network applications by sending and receiving raw packets.
-
IPv6 Support: Provides capabilities for capturing and analyzing IPv6 traffic, which is essential as networks transition to IPv6.
