Npcap 1.60 Release: Code Hardening, Compatibility, and Bug Fixes Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Dec 08)
Hi Nmap (and Npcap) hackers! I hope you're enjoying the start of the
holidays. For your first stocking stuffer, we're happy to release Npcap
Version 1.60! We also released (but never actually announced) Version 1.55
in September. We put out Versions 1.12 and 1.11 of the SDK too. None of
these try to wow you with major new features. We're excited about a lot of
those in the pipeline, but we focused the last few months on...

Nmap 7.92 Defcon Release! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Aug 07)
Hi folks. Many of us can't attend Defcon in person this year due to global
pandemic, but we won't let that stop our traditional Defcon Nmap release!
We just posted Nmap 7.92 to https://nmap.org/download.html. It includes
dozens of performance improvements, feature enhancements, and bug fixes
that we've made over the last 10 months.

The biggest improvement (at least for Windows users) is the inclusion of
version 1.50 of Npcap (...

Npcap 1.50 Release Brings Nmap & Wireshark to Windows ARM devices Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Jun 28)
Hi folks. The Nmap Project is pleased to release Npcap version 1.50 at

allows apps like Nmap and Wireshark to run for the first time on a newer
generation of hardware which often includes all-day battery life and
always-on LTE/5G capabilities. Devices vary from the $349 Samsung Galaxy
Book Go...

Npcap 1.30 Released: Raw WiFi + Better Performance Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 12)
Hi folks. The Nmap Project is pleased to release Npcap Version 1.30 at
https://npcap.org. We hope Nmap and Wireshark users will be especially
happy with the raw WiFi improvements, since you tend to be particularly
savvy about low-level network inspection. It turns out that some of the
issues we thought were caused by lower level hardware drivers were actually
bugs in our driver. Oops! But at least that means we can fix them
ourselves, and we did....

Npcap 1.20 released Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Mar 16)
Nmap/Npcap Community:

I'm happy to report the release of version 1.20 of the Npcap Windows packet
capturing/sending driver! It's the first release of 2021 and includes
better capabilities for selecting timestamp methods as well as many other
improvements and bug fixes. These include updating the underlying libpcap
library to version 1.10 and building our installer now with NSIS 3. More
details on all this are available from the...
