Hi list,

Since the last mail about how to make NPcap available for Wireshark, I have been waiting for WinPcap's official repo's news and I fortunately found this these days: https://github.com/wireshark/winpcap, is this the official WinPcap repo now? If yes, then what's the review policy? Like recently we have added the "Admin-only mode" into NPcap, it restricts the capturing access only to Administrators for security purpose (see details in: https://github.com/nmap/npcap and http://nmap.org/soc/#winpcap). I don't know if the review party would like this idea? (and like other parts of NPcap like current NDIS 6 implementation). And how hard would it be for NPcap to be merged into WinPcap upstream? I noticed that this repo used gerrit for code review and it is kind of strict system in my mind:)

Cheers,
Yang
