Novolis.Transports.WireFish

Live packet capture (SharpPcap) with Novolis.Messaging.Channels and hosted IPacketHandler dispatch. Migrated from Frank.WireFish / novolis-wirefish.

Install

dotnet add package Novolis.Transports.WireFish

Prerequisites: .NET 10 SDK (net10.0), Npcap (Windows) or libpcap. Elevation may be required to start the Npcap service.

Quick start

using Novolis.Transports.WireFish;

builder.Services.AddNovolisWireFish(
    w => w.AddPacketHandler<MyPacketHandler>(),
    o =>
    {
        o.BpfFilter = "tcp port 443";
        o.CaptureAllDevices = false;
        o.DeviceNames = ["\\Device\\NPF_{...}"];
    });

Handler template:

public sealed class MyPacketHandler : IPacketHandler
{
    public bool CanHandle(DevicePacket packet) => packet.IsTcp();
    public Task HandleAsync(DevicePacket packet, CancellationToken cancellationToken) => Task.CompletedTask;
}

Device discovery and startup health:

var devices = WireFishCaptureDevices.List();
var health = WireFishCaptureHealthChecks.Check();
WireFishCaptureHealthChecks.TryEnsureCaptureDriver();

Presentation helpers (no PacketDotNet in public signatures): DevicePacketExtensions, PacketPresentation.
