gollark: > For many years, WinPcap has been recognized as the industry-standard tool for link-layer network access in Windows environments, allowing applications to capture and transmit network packets bypassing the protocol stack, and including kernel-level packet filtering, a network statistics engine and support for remote packet capture.

gollark: Oh, and to respond very late to this:> uh... why would you buy those things = it's a pretty generic componentI don't mean why those specific things, I mean why suddenly buy a bunch of solar hardware?
gollark: ***a*** is pretty unambiguously a bold/italicized a, but if you start shoving asterisks mid-word some stuff gets confused.
