Here you will find the latest 64 bit releases of the libpcap.so shared object compiled for Android devices on the ARM architecture. Libpcap stands for "Library for Packet Capture". The compiled versions follows the same conventions as the source code from www.tcpdump.org.
We also compile the 32 bit versions of this library, which can be found at our 32 Bit Libpcap page.
Shared Objects (.so files) are a collection of libraries used when compiling programs. It is comparable to Dynamic Linked Libraries (.DLL files) in a Windows environment. It provides an API to the different functions and procedures built within the shared object. Our versions of android tcpdump we have in our downloads section have been compiled to include the shared object file (libpcap.so) within the tcpdump executable. As such, tcpdump was statically compiled (see more information in our compile section). So you do not require to download the libpcap.so file in order to run tcpdump.
However, if you require the shared library file for libpcap.so for some additional project or for testing, you can download it below.
