Unfortunately WinPcap doesn't offer a version of their installer that runs on Windows 8. Since WinPcap uses a kernel-mode driver to capture network packets, it seems like a very terrible idea to force Windows 8 to use the Windows Vista / 7 driver.
Is there a build anywhere that offers a Windows 8 compatible driver or is there an alternative program for Windows 8 that offers this capability?

Forcing WinPcap to use Windows 7 compatibility mode worked for me on Windows 8 x64 consumer preview.
