## Overview
This packet capture program provides a user-friendly interface for capturing and analyzing network packets on Windows. The backend utilizes Npcap, a packet capture library, for low-level network packet interception, while the frontend is built with wxWidgets to display the captured packets in a structured and easy-to-navigate graphical interface.
### Features
- Capture live network packets from multiple network interfaces.
- Display packet details such as source/destination IP, protocol, and timestamp.
- Filter packets by protocol, IP address, and more.
- Export packet data for further analysis or logging.
- Analyze hex-dumps of raw packet data.
- Start, stop, pause, and resume packet capture.
## Installation
You can either download the source code or the actual application to run. The application ships with the necessary DLL's, so no additional dependencies are required.
### To download the application:
1. Navigate to the [GitHub repositories release page](https://github.com/provrb/provrbs-packet-capture/releases).
2. Donwload 'procapture.rar' from the lastest release.
3. Extract the folder and its contents
4. Run procapture.exe to start the application.
### To download the source code:
