@ Thomas - can you try to confirm the following :
1 - uninstall the Suricata msi
2 - uninstall the current npcap version you have and install this one https://nmap.org/npcap/dist/npcap-0.99-r7.exe
3 - install the Suricata msi again
Should work that way i think - but could you please verify?

it looks like it works, there are a few installation issues. first I had to copy the Npcap files from the Windows "system32" folder to Suricata. Now starts suricata, but probably does not work with the standard configuration.
suricata.exe -c suricata.yaml -s signatures.rules -i eth0
Here some files are not found. But that is another problem.
PS .: The files from WOW64 do not work.

Thank you for the feedback, some more questions/points:
If the npcap install is system wide with WinPcap compatibility - it should be reachable and would not need to be in the suricata folder itself.
What files did you need to copy from npcap ?
Is this a 64 bit install you have ?
Some files are missing - what are those? I am suspecting it could be rules files actually.

I install npcap by double click on the exe file, I change only by switch on raw 802.11.
After Suricater ask for wpcap.dll and next for Packet.dll, I copy all 4 files from the system32/npcap folder.
Suricata is the last 64bit msi and npacp is the file from your link.
Here the output from suricata.

Can you change the topic?
it should be called "pcap_dump_fopen"

Updated by Peter Manev over 5 years ago
- Subject changed from windows: pcap_dump_open not found to windows: suricata calling pcap_dump_fopen
Topic changed as requested.
With respect to the Suricata asking fro wpcap.dll and packet.dll - when you install npcap you should also select/choose to install it with WinPcap compatibility - that should take care of it. (At least the case in my tests)
From what is see from the output - Suricata is starting normally. It does not find the rules. You can manually download those - for example ET open can be found here - https://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/suricata-4.0/emerging.rules.tar.gz (until suricata-update is ready/bundled for Windows) and put them in "\Program files\Suricata\rules".

I assume that it is just a wrong detection, but Immunet reports some Clam.Html.Exploit...

It is not uncommon for the exe to trigger some warnings from some AV software out there. I've seen it on a few of occasions.

Currently you need to stay with https://nmap.org/npcap/dist/npcap-0.992.exe to run. The error appears if you use v 993+ of npcap.

Needs further investigation.
Updated by Thomas Amwoza over 4 years ago
Any updates regarding this issue? We still can't seem to use any version of npcap that is newer than 0.992 with the latest versions of Suricata. Auditors are starting to flag npcap 0.992 for vulnerabilities, so this is going to be a problem for compliance until a solution can be provided.

This is fixed in 6.0.
We use the latest npcap(1.0+) now.
