Hi, I am a graduate student in Computer Science at the University of Washington. I have been trying to use the TUN/TAP device as a means of capturing incoming and outgoing packets. To make my system portable across Windows and Linux, I have been using Java for development, because of which I have run into a problem.
I installed v1.6 of the TUN/TAP device on my Windows XP machine. I then found from the registry that the key for the device on my machine is {5998ABF4-70CC-4B8C-9CBF-F2B985BAD4A2} (under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} subtree).
