#CHECK IF NPCAP IS INSTALL WIRESHARK UPDATE#
So what I would suggest in most of the cases is you should update so you get the best out of Wireshark.Wireshark uses libpcap or Winpcap libraries to capture network traffic on Windows. And then sometimes they update protocol support. If there are any new or updated features, they're listed here. Then take a look at this and then you can see one of the things that it's going to do is fix bugs, things that alter the functionality of Wireshark. It will let you know the version you already have and what's new. In this case, you'll see a new version of Wireshark is available. Every once in a while, you'll see a software update. So once installed, you're then ready to start using Wireshark. We'll select Next and I'll say to Manually reboot later. Once the new version of Npcap is installed, select Next and finish the Wizard. I'll just select that and then I'll say Install. And in this one, I want to Support raw 802.11 traffic, which is wifi.

And here, during the installation options, is what you can also select some other options including Restrict Npcap's drivers access to administrators only. Now here, we see the Licensing Agreement for Npcap and I'll select I agree. Now that's something you may want to use if you're going to be doing some troubleshooting and you want to see what's happening on your USB interface. Now here is something else you can choose, USB capture. As you can see here, the current version will be uninstalled so it can give me the latest version of Npcap. Then I'm going to select or leave that default. Windows documentation suggests that you use Npcap if you're using Windows 10. Now Npcap comes from the Endmap project and it's the packet sniffing library for Windows. You'll need to install this if you want to capture packets. When installing Wireshark, and especially the first time, you're going to see an option to install Npcap. Now once we get here, I want you to take a look, it says Currently installed Npcap version. We'll leave this as the default where to install Wireshark. And as you can see, there are a lot of file extensions that allow you to work with other software products that allow you to do some haptic captures. Here, you can put additional tasks such as creating a shortcut and associate file extensions. Now this is a standard installation and this gives you your license agreement, and here, you can select some of the components. I've selected the 64-bit Windows Download and then I'm going to install this. If you're serious about development, you should obtain and update your code from Wireshark's Git Repository.
#CHECK IF NPCAP IS INSTALL WIRESHARK ARCHIVE#
If you select Source Code, you'll get an archive of the source code where you can study the various files. In some cases, you may have to complete additional configuration options in order to resolve any errors, but that's rare. To install it on a Mac, you download and unpack the mountable disk image and then simply run the install.

You'll also find an install for Mac operating systems.
#CHECK IF NPCAP IS INSTALL WIRESHARK PORTABLE#
This is a portable app that will only run on an older version of Windows, as you can see. And then down below, you'll see Windows Portable. And here, you see a standard download for either Windows 32- or 64-bit operating systems. Now you'll see the Windows Installer, that's listed first. The Stable Release lists newer versions of Wireshark. I'll bring this back up and we'll drop down the Stable Release which most of us will use. Now the Old Stable Release has versions that were stable in the past and for whatever reason you might want to roll back to an old stable release because the newer version caused some problems. You'll also see Old Stable Release and Stable Release. In here, you can find out a lot of the questions that you might have to improve your functionality while using Wireshark. I'll select Documentation and then I'll select Online Multiple Pages which brought me this Web page. On the left-hand side, you'll see three segments. In the middle, you'll also see more ways you can learn about Wireshark and then on the left, you'll see a link to download Wireshark. On the top of the page you'll see information about SharkFest which is Wireshark's annual conference. Now I'm here at which is the Wireshark home page. And then we'll learn why you should update Wireshark, when prompted. In this segment, we'll review how you install Wireshark on a PC or a Mac and we'll cover some choices during installation.
