You can download the latest Windows Packet Filter driver installer at no cost, making it suitable for personal, educational, or non-profit organization use. This enables you to test and evaluate the software’s reliability and performance. The driver installer for your platform, as well as example binaries, can be downloaded from GitHub.
The source code for Windows Packet Filter samples, along with the most recent ndisapi library, is also accessible on GitHub. This offers a comprehensive resource for those interested in delving deeper into the software.
For .NET developers, the ndisapi library includes a C++/CLI class library. Alternatively, the ndisapi.net p/Invoke C# library is available for those who prefer working in C#.
Rust developers can take advantage of the ndisapi-rs crate, which provides a complete, idiomatic Rust API built on top of the Windows Packet Filter driver. This enables the utilization of Rust’s safety and performance features for network packet manipulation.
Important notes:
Please note that the standard driver builds have a network MTU limit of 1500 bytes, which may result in a performance degradation for 10 Gbps networks with Jumbo frames. However, builds supporting Ethernet Jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes are available to licensed customers for a better network experience.
