Do i need to install WinPcap?

Carlos

Greetings

Newbie question:

Im new to this BLE and RF world, and i'm trying to read all the info i can before buy the nRF52 DK when it got the IC without all the "erratas" of the preview one (or should i start with the nRF51?, suggestions allowed).

So i install nRF Sniffer and Wireshark, but during the installation of Wireshark it ask me to install WinPCap aswell, did a quick search online and seen it can be used to get into my system, so the question is if i should install it or i can run Wireshark (just for work with nRF Sniffer) propperly without it.

    So, I know about WinPcap and I know why you need to install it.
    WinPcap is a program that allows a network card in a hybrid mode.
    However, it can also be called a 'potentially unwanted program', and should be removed if you did not install it yourself. WinPcap has been discussed in some computer security forums, and it seems that the main reason users consider it a virus is its distribution method.
    Like other similar programs, it is distributed with freeware and shareware.
    This is a widely used way to force a user to download applications to a computer without his knowledge.
