Packet Sniffer SDK library set for Windows (former Network Investigation Suite) is the most powerful development suite for network packet capture in Windows OS family environment, working without any preinstalled network drivers.
Currently Packet Sniffer SDK is available as ActiveX, DLL, VCL, and static libraries for Microsoft VC compatible and Borland C compilers editions.

Packet dump example is the ready-to-use packet sniffer, demonstrates the advanced features of the Packet Sniffer SDK library. Please see its source texts to learn:
* How to initialize Packet Sniffer SDK library;
* How to create Packet Sniffer SDK library objects;
* How to detect network adapters set on the system;
* How to open and close network adapters;
* How to set MAC filters;
* How to work with BPF filters (create filters, load a filter from a file, set a filter for an adapter, activate a filter on the network adapter);
* How to dump packets into a file.
* Important: How to create a synchronized packets queue and a separate thread for the processing the packets from this queue.
We strongly recommend this technique to make the packets processing as fast as possible in highly productive applications for traffic analysis.
