NDIS 5.x may be deprecated, but it's still supported and will likely *continue* to be supported for quite a while yet: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/hardware/network/ndis-6-0-backward-compatibility NDIS 6.x may be *recommended* for newer driver development, but AFAIK it is not *required* (nor will it likely ever be). I suspect WinPCap 4.13 (and thus CTCI-WIN) will continue to work fine for quite a few years yet. -- "Fish" (David B.
