I want to sniff network packets without wincap library, kindly give me some hints or direction so that I can make it possible.
You know, libpcap exists for a reason: It does something that’s necessary.
You need to set up a system-level hook for TCP/IP events, and the way global hooks work means you need to do this from a DLL.
Having hooked those events, you have to figure out the contents of the packets you get.
Are you sure you want to re-invent this wheel?
I found some introductory info on hooking Windows events here.
