<Tr> <Th> Website </Th> <Td> www.winpcap.org </Td> </Tr> <P> In the field of computer network administration, pcap (packet capture) consists of an application programming interface (API) for capturing network traffic . Unix - like systems implement pcap in the libpcap library; Windows uses a port of libpcap known as WinPcap . </P> <P> Monitoring software may use libpcap and / or WinPcap to capture packets travelling over a network and, in newer versions, to transmit packets on a network at the link layer, as well as to get a list of network interfaces for possible use with libpcap or WinPcap . </P> <P> The pcap API is written in C, so other languages such as Java, . NET languages, and scripting languages generally use a wrapper; no such wrappers are provided by libpcap or WinPcap itself . C++ programs may link directly to the C API or use an object - oriented wrapper . </P>
