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)

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().
