[Windump] Windump on Vista

Jordan,

Windump is a command line utility expecting command line parameters to be run.

For a quickstart, you obtain a list of adapters by issuing "windump -D", and then you capture from a specific adapter by using "windump -i<adapter number>" where <adapter number> is taken from the list with "windump -D".

An extensive manual of windump/tcpdump is available on the website at

http://www.winpcap.org/windump/docs/manual.htm

Also, since you are running Vista: if you have UAC turned on (it's on by default), you need to start the command prompt in which you run windump with elevated privileges. You do that by right-clicking on the command prompt link and choosing "Run as administrator".

Have a nice day
GV

  When I run windump.exe, it just sits there and listens.....I can't type in any commands or anything like that...I'm assuming i have to wait until it finds a network which then I can act? Cause the signal strength is pretty low, but also can it be an issue with my card not being able to monitor traffic? I have an intel card. Any help appreciated. I run vista on a notebook.
  And how do I open winpcap?
