Talk about a Winsock stress test! Redirecting Winsock sockets can send anyone to the mental institution! It can really be a challenge. There are so many little things that can go wrong – so many minor details. In LSP how to inject to running process can be tricky as well. That is why I cannot recommend the free LSP guide enough. Komodia’s free LSP resource page and video is a must for anyone struggling with LSP issues.

When you hear the term “64 bit Windows Socket APIs,” what is being referenced is just the 64 bit Winsock. The longer phrase is merely a throwback to when programmers were still fighting the newer Winsock name. Many refused to call Winsock anything but Windows Socket API – this actually caused a problem with online documentation for awhile until the majority of programmers realized that the issue really wasn’t worth it. Here at Komodia, you can call 64 bit Windows Socket APIs anything you want – Komodia knows what you mean.

If you wish to set up a transparent proxy for Windows, Komodia.com is the place you want to be. Windows transparent proxy LSP is, of course, a Komodia specialty. That is not really saying much as all things LSP are Komodia specialties. Do you want to know more about layered service provider check on windows? Well, that’s a Komodia specialty as well. Check out Komodia’s free LSP guide and free LSP resource page.

This is one of the questions that I found in a comment posted to this blog: does LSP layer supports port blocking? My answer to this type of question is simply to direct you to Komodia’s free Winsock LSP guide and resource page. It is going to be able to answer all of your Winsock LSP questions. When you do find a problem that you either cannot answer or you do not want to spend the time to fix, then I want to point you towards Komodia’s Redirector. With Komodia’s Redirector you can block Internet using Winsock and much more.

When it comes to information to block Winsock, what you really want to know about is Komodia’s Redirector. It makes it possible to change network sessions with just a couple clicks. The redirector intercepts any traffic on your local machine based on the rules you decide. The redirector includes several functions for you to use without ever writing any lines of code.
So if you want to control whatever TCP traffic you wish to redirect for inspection or have the Winsock API to block network connection or even encrypt any outgoing unsecure sessions (plus so much more), than check out Komodia’s redirector now!

There are two different versions of Winsock LSP: IFS & non IFS. Generally most LSPs are non IFS – including the products of Komodia.com. Non IFS LSPs actually change the socket handle to create a non valid Windows IFS handle. IFS LSPs do not do this, they keep the socket handle, which makes it possible for the LSP to use only the functions it intercepts.
For more information regarding the Winsock IFS driver, please see the free LSP guide.

It can be great to use the Winsock samples that are provided in the SDK\samples directory. However, for every plus there is a minus and the minus here is the potential errors that can arise. If you are having Winsock layered service provider issues, it MAY be related to the use of Winsock samples. Check out the free Winsock LSP resource page here on Komodia.com.

Winsock client communicates with server applications. The server application will send its information and the client application will send an information packet back. Once this link is created, the Winsock client can continue to exchange information with the server application.

WSK, or Winsock Kernel, is a kernel moded NPI. This is similar to Winsock2 in that you can use the same socket programming concepts. The Winsock Kernel Network Programming Interface (NPI) supports many of the same socket operations; however, it is a very different beast from the user-mode winsock2.
