  • Pros

    • Efficient packet transfer within Windows environments. | Includes both a driver and a library. | Offers access to low-level networks. | Compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n networks.
  • Cons

    • Last updated in 2013, which is ancient in software years | Might need a separate USB card for full functionality. | The documentation feels a bit outdated. | Wireshark is probably a better option for most users.
