netcap-nodpi-v0.7.6-linux-amd64-musl Linux AMD64 ❌ No musl-based, no DPI
netcap-nodpi-v0.7.6-windows-amd64 Windows AMD64 ❌ No Windows build

🔍 Choosing the Right Build

  • With DPI (netcap-*): Choose if you need Deep Packet Inspection features (protocol classification, application detection)
  • Without DPI (netcap-nodpi-*): Choose for basic packet capture and analysis, smaller binary size
  • libc vs musl: Use libc for standard Linux distros (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS). Use musl for Alpine Linux or minimal containers

Installing on macOS via homebrew

Builds distributed via homebrew are built with DPI support. You need to install the libprotoident and ndpi libraries via homebrew.

  $ brew install libprotoident ndpi
  $ brew tap dreadl0ck/formulas
  $ brew install netcap

Afterwards try running 'net' in your terminal.
