WinDivert 2.2: Windows Packet Divert ==================================== 1. Introduction --------------- Windows Packet Divert (WinDivert) is a user-mode packet interception library for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. WinDivert enables user-mode capturing/modifying/dropping of network packets sent to/from the Windows network stack. In summary, WinDivert can: - capture network packets - filter/drop network packets - sniff network packets - (re)inject network packets - modify network packets WinDivert can be used to implement user-mode packet filters, sniffers, firewalls, NATs, VPNs, IDSs, tunneling applications, etc.. WinDivert supports the following features: - packet interception, sniffing, or dropping modes - support for loopback (localhost) traffic - full IPv6 support - network layer - simple yet powerful API - high-level filtering language - filter priorities - freely available under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPLv3) For more information see doc/windivert.html 2. Architecture --------------- The basic architecture of WinDivert is as follows: +-----------------+ | | +------->| PROGRAM |--------+ | | (WinDivert.dll) | | | +-----------------+ | | | (3) re-injected | (2a) matching packet | packet | | | | [user mode] | | ....................|...................................|................... [kernel mode] | | | | | | +---------------+ +-----------------> (1) packet | | (2b) non-matching packet ------------>| WinDivert.sys |--------------------------------------------> | | +---------------+ The WinDivert.sys driver is installed below the Windows network stack. The following actions occur: (1) A new packet enters the network stack and is intercepted by WinDivert.sys (2a) If the packet matches the PROGRAM-defined filter, it is diverted. The PROGRAM can then read the packet using a call to WinDivertRecv(). (2b) If the packet does not match the filter, the packet continues as normal. (3) PROGRAM either drops, modifies, or re-injects the packet. PROGRAM can re-inject the (modified) using a call to WinDivertSend(). 3.
