WinPcap (windows Packet Capture) is a free API(application programming interface) for capturing network traffic. If you are installing dummper or Zenmap or other sniffing tool then you need to install this software.
Monitoring software may use libpcap and/or WinPcap to capture packets traveling over a network and, in newer versions, to transmit packets on a network at the link layer, as well as to get a list of network interfaces for possible use with libpcap or WinPcap. The pcap API is written in C, so other languages such as Java, .NET languages, and scripting languages generally use a wrapper; no such wrappers are provided by libpcap or WinPcap itself. C++ programs may link directly to the C API or use an object-oriented wrapper.
