System Requirements

• This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 7, including 64-bit systems.
• One of the following capture drivers is required to use WebCookiesSniffer:
  • WinPcap Capture Driver: WinPcap is an open source capture driver that allows you to capture network packets on any version of Windows. You can download and install the WinPcap driver from this Web page.
  • Microsoft Network Monitor Driver version 2.x (Only for Windows 2000/XP/2003): Microsoft provides a free capture driver under Windows 2000/XP/2003 that can be used by WebCookiesSniffer, but this driver is not installed by default, and you have to manually install it, by using one of the following options:
    • Option 1: Install it from the CD-ROM of Windows 2000/XP according to the instructions in Microsoft Web site
    • Option 2 (XP Only) : Download and install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools. One of the tools in this package is netcap.exe. When you run this tool in the first time, the Network Monitor Driver will automatically be installed on your system.
