Clarification of using npcap vs. libpcap?

Open eabase opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Needing a libpcap dependency for compiling a ping app, I am confused whether to use this repo, or the original libpcap from here:

https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap

Which one should I use? What are the differences?

PS. I will be using Cygwin and MinGW64/MSYS for compilation.
