Winpcap 4.1.3 Vulnerabilities

Unlike its successor Npcap, WinPcap 4.1.3 was developed before many current Windows security features were standard. It lacks DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) for its driver ( npf.sys ), making it a potentially easier target for memory corruption exploits.

Check your System32\drivers folder today. If npf.sys is dated 2013, you are not running a packet analyzer; you are running a vulnerability vector. Upgrade to Npcap immediately. winpcap 4.1.3 vulnerabilities
