Detailed Description

Windows packet capture library that integrates WinPcap packet capture API with ActiveX scripting and programming languages. Implements framework of COM classes that hide the details of WinPcap packet capture process.

Typedef Documentation

PktXLinkType

Adapter link type. Identifies the physical medium type.

Note:

Use the IPktXAdapter::LinkType property to read the link type information.

See also:

LinkType

Examples:

Capture.cs.

PktXMode

Adapter capture mode. You can configure the adapter to capture packets or collect network statistics.

Note:

Use the IPktXAdapter::Mode property to change the capture mode of the adapter object.

See also:

Mode.

Examples:

Capture.cs.

PktXPacketType

Adapter hardware filter flags. You can define the hardware level packet filter by the combination of packet type flags.

Note:

Use the IPktXAdapter::HWFilter property to change the adapter hardware filter.

See also:

PacketType

Examples:

Capture.cs.

PktXProtocolType

Protocol type identificator.

Note:

Use the IPktXPacket::Protocol property to read the decoded protocol information. The built-in decoding engine does recognize only the basic LAN encapsulation beginning with Ethrenet header followed by IP, TCP or UDP protocols.

See also:

ProtocolType

Examples:

Decode.cs.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum LinkType

Adapter link type. Identifies the physical medium type.

Note:

Use the IPktXAdapter::LinkType property to read the link type information.

Enumerator:

PktXLinkTypeNone	Invalid link type.
PktXLinkType802_3	Ethernet (802.3).
PktXLinkType802_5	Token Ring (802.5).
PktXLinkTypeFddi	FDDI.
PktXLinkTypeWan	WAN.
PktXLinkTypeLocalTalk	LocalTalk.
PktXLinkTypeDix	DIX.
PktXLinkTypeArcnetRaw	ARCNET (raw).
PktXLinkTypeArcnet878_2	ARCNET (878.2).
PktXLinkTypeAtm	ATM.
PktXLinkTypeWirelessWan	Various types of wireless media.

enum Mode

Adapter capture mode. You can configure the adapter to capture packets or collect network statistics.

Note:

Use the IPktXAdapter::Mode property to change the capture mode of the adapter object.

Enumerator:

PktXModeCapture	Captured packets are returned as _IPktXPacketXEvents::OnPacket events.
PktXModeStatistics	Statistics are returned periodically as _IPktXPacketXEvents::OnStatistics events.

enum PacketType

Adapter hardware filter flags. You can define the hardware level packet filter by the combination of packet type flags.

Note:

Use the IPktXAdapter::HWFilter property to change the adapter hardware filter.

Enumerator:

PktXPacketTypeDirected	Directed packets contain a destination address equal to the station address of the NIC.
PktXPacketTypeMulticast	Multicast address packets sent to addresses in the multicast address list.
PktXPacketTypeAllMulticast	All multicast address packets, not just the ones enumerated in the multicast address list.
PktXPacketTypeBroadcast	Broadcast packets.
PktXPacketTypeSourceRouting	All source routing packets.
PktXPacketTypePromiscuous	Specifies all packets.
PktXPacketTypeSmt	SMT packets that an FDDI NIC receives.
PktXPacketTypeAllLocal	All packets sent by installed protocols.
PktXPacketTypeMacFrame	NIC driver frames that a Token Ring NIC receives.
PktXPacketTypeFunctional	Functional address packets sent to addresses included in the current functional address.
PktXPacketTypeAllFunctional	All functional address packets, not just the ones in the current functional address.
PktXPacketTypeGroup	Packets sent to the current group address.

enum ProtocolType

Protocol type identificator.

Note:

Use the IPktXPacket::Protocol property to read the decoded protocol information. The built-in decoding engine does recognize only the basic LAN encapsulation beginning with Ethrenet header followed by IP, TCP or UDP protocols.

Enumerator:

PktXProtocolTypeNone	Invalid frame.
PktXProtocolTypeEthernet	Ethernet frame.
PktXProtocolTypeIP	Internet Protocol (IP) packet.
PktXProtocolTypeUDP	User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet.
PktXProtocolTypeTCP	Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet.
