> Hello
> Has someone already ported tcpdump to NT ?
We (Secure Networks, Inc.) have ported tcpdump as part of testing.
NT does not provide a driver for accessing the raw network. So before
you can port tcpdump, you have to write a device driver for accessing
the network. The Device Developers Kit comes with an example driver
that does this, but it is very poor. After you have a device driver,
you have to port libpcap to access it. This is fairly straight forward
as most of the code will compile fine, and you only have to write 1
file from scratch. Once you have libpcap, tcpdump is fairly easy to
port.
We currently give out tcpdump binaries with our Ballista product
(see http://www.secnet.com/ for more information). We will probably
be offering just the device driver, libpcap, and the tcpdump diffs
as a package for free non-commercial use soon. Unfortunately, I
don't have a date on this. We will be posting an announcement to
this list if/when it happens.
If you have any specific questions on porting tcpdump, I'd be
glad to answer them.
