Using The Rawether Win32 NDIS API

Back Next

Basically all that is required for you to use the Rawether Win32 NDIS API in your own application is to include necessary Win32 NDIS header files and to link to the W32N55 import library when building your application. The necessary header files and import library are included with the Rawether Software Development Kit (SDK).

If you order Rawether for Windows you will receive sources to several sample applications that demonstrate use of the Win32 NDIS API. The Rawether Sample applications include:

bulletNDIScope MFC Application - Which allows the user to dynamically select and bind with any installed Ethernet adapter and then displays adapter information. The Open button allows the user to select the protocols to be captured, and then starts the HookPeek application.
 
bulletHookPeek Win32 Console Application - Which binds with a specified adapter and then dumps received packets to the console display.

If desired, you can download executable versions of the NDIScope and HookPeek applications. The download is an InstallShield installer that will install the two applications, DLL and necessary driver for you. You can also uninstall the samples in the ordinary way after your evaluation.

In addition, Rawether for Windows includes several additional sample console applications that illustrate "the basics" of using the Rawether API.

Rawether also includes support for the Microsoft .NET Framework called "Rawether .NET". Rawether .NET is a rich C# class library that consists of almost 200,000 lines of C# code (Almost a million lines if code comments are included...).

Use of the Rawether .NET API is illustrated by a comprehensive C# console application, companion NUnit tests and a C# Windows Form implementation of NDIScope.
