Does any1 use pcapy module on win32 platforms?

[billiejoex]

Hi. I'm trying to use pcapy module on Windows XP prof sp2 but it doesn't
work.
The example source reported on the site
(http://oss.coresecurity.com/impacket/sniff.py) works only on *unix
machines.
On Windows machines the findalldevs() function (an output on the bottom)
gives an unicode object that can't be processed by open_live function
that tipically accept strings.
This not happens on linux machines where findalldev() function gives a
string object that can be quietly accepted by open_live.
Does exist a patch to fix this bug? I really would like to write a portable
program usable in both platforms.
Maybe do can I process the unicode outputs and converting them into valid
strings?
Happy summer and happy coding! :-)

For what it's worth, I can run that on my XP Professional SP2 machine and
it works perfectly:

pcapy.findalldevs()

u'\\Device\\NPF_{62280C1D-DC5C-42AF-BA0F-6BDB48418CA5}']

I'm using WinPcap 3.0. My packet.dll is stamped as version 3.0.0.18.
Maybe you're running a different version?

The problem was my winpcap version. I was using the 3.1.
Now, with the 3.0 it works.

Really thanks. :-)
