How to obtain Loopback Device?

[paolo dipaolo]

Hello all

I'm using Pcap.Net.x64 on my C# application running on Windows 10 machine.

I need to obtain the loopback device, but it does not appear in the list obtained from:  IList<LivePacketDevice> allDevices = LivePacketDevice.AllLocalMachine;

In "allDevices" list i can see 4 devices, all with "None" value on "Attributes" field (no one with "DeviceAttributes.Loopback" as i would like):

1) VMWare1 (Attributes = None)

2) Network adapter 'Microsoft' on local host (Attributes = None)

3) Network adapter 'Microsoft' on local host (Attributes = None)

4) Network adapter 'Microsoft' on local host (Attributes = None)

5) VMWare4 (Attributes = None)

In Wireshark i can see the Loopback adapter, and i can also sniff packets from it.

Why loopback attribute is not present?

How can i bind the loopback device?

Can someone help me?

Than you
