Development of a GOOSE Packet Capture and Analysis Tool Based on WINPCAP

The WINPCAP is a free tool for link-layer network access in Windows environments.It allows applications to capture and transmit network packets bypassing the protocol stack,and has additional useful features,including kernel-level packet filtering,a network statistics engine and support for remote packet capture.By employing this development kit,it is easy for developers to program a GOOSE capture tool and then an analysis can be carried out with the captured network packets according to the ASN.1/BER.This paper introduces the whole development process of GOOSE capture tool,as well as some details about the design guidelines and realization process.Some possible applications are also given.
