To install KFSensor you must be logged on with full administration rights to the local machine. Npcap is maintained by the Nmap project and for licensing reasons the Npcap installation must be downloaded directly from their web site: Npcap is based on WinPCap, with an updated codebase to support the latest Windows APIs. The WinPCap installation program can either be obtained from the KeyFocus web site, or direct from the WinPCap web site: It is reliable for older versions of Windows, but can be difficult to install on versions of Windows 10. Unfortunately WinPCap is no longer being maintained. WinPCap is the original network packet capturing library for Windows and KFSensor has worked with it for many years. Installing one later on will require an additional reboot of the machine. It is best to download and install one of these libraries before installing KFSensor. If both are installed on the same machine then KFSensor will pick Npcap in preference to WinPCap. There are two different network packet capturing libraries to choose from WinPCap or Npcap.īoth are free to use and both provide the functionality needed by KFSensor. KFSensor will work without a network packet capturing library being installed but functionality associated with the Network Protocol Analyzer will then be disabled.
This means KFSensor can work along side other security software such as Wireshark, which use the same libraries. KFSensor's Network Protocol Analyzer feature makes use of industry standard network packet capturing libraries.
