How to convert a script(Capture Packets and save it to log file) into Window Service?

I want to write a window service for keep capturing the network traffic and save the packets info into a log file, but I can't start it.
"Error 1064: An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request."

Here's the code for Windows Service(failed):
using System;

using SharpPcap;
namespace CaptureService
{
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
private static bool _stopCapturing;
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);//Get the desktop path
string filename = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd--HH-mm-ss");//Use date to name the file
public Service1()
{
InitializeComponent();
var devices = CaptureDeviceList.Instance; //Get the local devices
if (devices.Count < 1)

//read local device
var device = devices[3];
//read packets

device.Open(DeviceModes.Promiscuous, readTimeoutMilliseconds);
//set filter
string filter = "host 192.168.0.212";
device.Filter = filter;
PacketCapture e;
var status = device.GetNextPacket(out e);
var rawCapture = e.GetPacket();
// use PacketDotNet to parse this packet and print out

// Create a log file to desktop and write the log into the log file
using (StreamWriter w = File.AppendText(path + "\\" + filename + ".log"))
{

}
device.Close();
}

The answer by #Sam1916 might lessen the frustration of FileNotFoundException.
The "System.IO.FileNotFoundException" caught my attention - but missing info on what files.
As Windows services run in "their own context" the files referenced (Through "using") might not exists in a readable directory, hench "FileNotFoundException"
Is the logfile placed in a directory where your service credentials are allowed to write?

There are too many unnecessary references that may affect each other in the solution so that it will return a lot of errors & warnings when building it. Just add them one by one if it is necessary, rebuild it when you added a new reference(for checking the compatibility) and not just copying all of them to the solution.
Too many unnecessary references(Before)
Just add the references you need(After)

Cant join to multicast group c#

In my project I need receive a video through UDP. Source have a IP 224.0.0.21, Sink have a IP 169.254.170.141. I receive video through a port 3956 (This is a valid information from Wireshark). I use SharpPcap for receive UDP traffic, but it have not methods for join to multicast. I try this code from MSDN, but it dont work.
IPAddress multicastaddress = IPAddress.Parse("224.0.0.21");
IPEndPoint remoteep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 3956);
m_ClientTarget.JoinMulticastGroup(multicastaddress, localAddr);
In my PC I have some network adapters, but I use the IP address from device, that connected to source video. Source and sink connected directly. When I start monitor traffic in the wireshark my programm also receive packet, but without the wireshack it cant do it.

Without seeing your code (I´m assuming that there´s more than the snippet you show) it´s difficult to help you.
A basic setup for a client receiving multicast datagrams would be something like this untested snippet:
UdpClient mClient = new UdpClient(3956, AddressFamily.InterNetwork);
IPAdress groupAddress = IPAddress.Parse("224.0.0.21);
mClient.JoinMulticastGroup(groupAddress);
After that you the receiving using mClient.Receive()...
Maybe this helps? Or the documentation on MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ekd1t784(v=vs.110).aspx).
C.

I tested the code with ffmpeg
ffmpeg.exe -i aa.mp4 -f mpeg udp://224.0.0.21:3956
int PORT = 3956;
string MULTICAST_IP = "224.0.0.21";
UdpClient udpClient = new UdpClient(PORT);
udpClient.JoinMulticastGroup(IPAddress.Parse(MULTICAST_IP));
var from = new IPEndPoint(0, 0);
var recvBuffer = udpClient.Receive(ref from);

Website Visitor (Visited URL) Logger Application

I have made an application to log all websites visited by current PC user. This is not for a malicious use. I am making this feature for my employee monitoring software which will be licensed under proper laws.
Coming on main point, Whenever I am fetching URL from any browser such as IE. I am only getting its URL for all opened tabs. I am unable to get any tab handle for IE7+ , because of which I am unable to maintain a list of tabs for which I have already logged URL's for same tab.

I provided a solution on this topic: How to write a standalone URL logger for Windows?
There I used Java, but you can do the same by using C#. I am almost sure there is a lot of good libpcap wrappers for C#.
There is a project called pcapDotNet and you can use it.
Adjusting one example:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using PcapDotNet.Core;
using PcapDotNet.Packets;
using PcapDotNet.Packets.IpV4;
using PcapDotNet.Packets.Transport;
namespace InterpretingThePackets
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Retrieve the device list from the local machine
IList<LivePacketDevice> allDevices = LivePacketDevice.AllLocalMachine;
if (allDevices.Count == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("No interfaces found! Make sure WinPcap is installed.");
return;
}
// Print the list
for (int i = 0; i != allDevices.Count; ++i)
{
LivePacketDevice device = allDevices[i];
Console.Write((i + 1) + ". " + device.Name);
if (device.Description != null)
Console.WriteLine(" (" + device.Description + ")");
else
Console.WriteLine(" (No description available)");
}
int deviceIndex = 0;
do
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter the interface number (1-" + allDevices.Count + "):");
string deviceIndexString = Console.ReadLine();
if (!int.TryParse(deviceIndexString, out deviceIndex) ||
deviceIndex < 1 || deviceIndex > allDevices.Count)
{
deviceIndex = 0;
}
} while (deviceIndex == 0);
// Take the selected adapter
PacketDevice selectedDevice = allDevices[deviceIndex - 1];
// Open the device
using (PacketCommunicator communicator =
selectedDevice.Open(65536, // portion of the packet to capture
// 65536 guarantees that the whole packet will be captured on all the link layers
PacketDeviceOpenAttributes.Promiscuous, // promiscuous mode
1000)) // read timeout
{
// Check the link layer. We support only Ethernet for simplicity.
if (communicator.DataLink.Kind != DataLinkKind.Ethernet)
{
Console.WriteLine("This program works only on Ethernet networks.");
return;
}
// Compile the filter
using (BerkeleyPacketFilter filter = communicator.CreateFilter("ip and tcp"))
{
// Set the filter
communicator.SetFilter(filter);
}
Console.WriteLine("Listening on " + selectedDevice.Description + "...");
// start the capture
communicator.ReceivePackets(0, PacketHandler);
}
}
// Callback function invoked by libpcap for every incoming packet
private static void PacketHandler(Packet packet)
{
// print timestamp and length of the packet
Console.WriteLine(packet.Timestamp.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.fff") + " length:" + packet.Length);
IpV4Datagram ip = packet.Ethernet.IpV4;
//Do your magic here using HttpRequestDatagram
}
}
}

network interface speed

I want to get my network interface's Name, Speed, and MAC Address.
var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher { Scope = GetConnectedScope(target, "cimv2") };
try
{
searcher.Query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT MACAddress, Speed, Name FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter");
var nicList = new List<NetworkInterfaceModel>();
foreach (var item in searcher.Get())
{
nicList.Add(new NetworkInterfaceModel
{
NetworkInterfaceName = (string)item["Name"],
NetworkInterfaceSpeed = (double)(item["Speed"] != null ? (ulong) item["Speed"] : 0)/1000/1000,
MacAddress = (string)item["MACAddress"]
});
}
For Windows 7 and Vista it work just fine, but for XP and Windows Server 2003 it didn't collect the speed. How can I get the speed for XP and Server 2003?

You can get networks name using windows cmd:
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "netsh.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "wlan show interfaces";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.Start();
string s = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
string s1 = s.Substring(s.IndexOf("SSID"));
s1 = s1.Substring(s1.IndexOf(":"));
s1 = s1.Substring(2, s1.IndexOf("\n")).Trim();
p.WaitForExit();
namelabel.Text = s1;
for MAC Address:
IPAddress IP = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.1.1");
byte[] macAddr = new byte[6];
uint macAddrLen = (uint)macAddr.Length;
UInt32 nRet = 0;
uint nAddress = BitConverter.ToUInt32(IP.GetAddressBytes(), 0);
nRet = SendARP(nAddress, 0, macAddr, ref macAddrLen);
if (nRet == 0)
{
string[] sMacAddress = new string[(int)macAddrLen];
for (int i = 0; i < macAddrLen; i++)
{
sMacAddress[i] = macAddr[i].ToString("x2");
string macAddress += sMacAddress[i] + (i < macAddrLen - 1 ? ":" : "");
}
}
and about speed you can use the following code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
Start with adding a timerInteval(How fast you want to change to the new value) a NetworkInteface and a timer:
private const double timerUpdate = 1000;
private NetworkInterface[] nicArr;
private Timer timer;
Then Continue using the folowing componets on start up:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
InitializeNetworkInterface();
InitializeTimer();
}
Componets:
private void InitializeNetworkInterface()
{
// Grab all local interfaces to this computer
nicArr = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
// Add each interface name to the combo box
for (int i = 0; i < nicArr.Length; i++)
comboBox1.Items.Add(nicArr[i].Name); //you add here the interface types in a combobox and select from here WiFi, ethernet etc...
// Change the initial selection to the first interface
comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
private void InitializeTimer()
{
timer = new Timer();
timer.Interval = (int)timerUpdate;
timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
timer.Start();
}
Timer's tick
void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UpdateNetworkInterface();
}
With this void you update the ping:
public void UpdatePing()
{
try
{
Ping myPing = new Ping();
PingReply reply = myPing.Send(textBox1.Text, 1000);
if (reply != null)
{
label17.Text = reply.Status.ToString();
label18.Text = reply.RoundtripTime.ToString();
}
}
catch
{
label17.Text = "ERROR: You have Some TIMEOUT issue";
label18.Text = "ERROR: You have Some TIMEOUT issue";
}
}
and finally use this to show the speed in network form:
private void UpdateNetworkInterface()
{
// Grab NetworkInterface object that describes the current interface
NetworkInterface nic = nicArr[comboBox1.SelectedIndex];
// Grab the stats for that interface
IPv4InterfaceStatistics interfaceStats = nic.GetIPv4Statistics();
// Calculate the speed of bytes going in and out
// NOTE: we could use something faster and more reliable than Windows Forms Tiemr
// such as HighPerformanceTimer http://www.m0interactive.com/archives/2006/12/21/high_resolution_timer_in_net_2_0.html
// Update the labels
speedlbl.Text = nic.Speed.ToString();
interfaceTypelbl.Text = nic.NetworkInterfaceType.ToString();
bytesReceivedlbl.Text = interfaceStats.BytesReceived.ToString();
bytesSentlbl.Text = interfaceStats.BytesSent.ToString();
int bytesSentSpeed = (int)(interfaceStats.BytesSent - double.Parse(label10.Text)) / 1024;
int bytesReceivedSpeed = (int)(interfaceStats.BytesReceived - double.Parse(label11.Text)) / 1024;
bytescomelbl.Text = bytesSentSpeed.ToString() + " KB/s";
bytessentlbl.Text = bytesReceivedSpeed.ToString() + " KB/s";
}

Win32_NetworkAdapter doesn't support the speed property under XP, As per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394216(v=vs.85).aspx :
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0: This property has not been implemented yet. It returns a NULL value by default.
Instead, use the CIM_NetworkAdapter class with the same property.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa387931(v=vs.85).aspx

using System.Net;
foreach (NetworkInterface netInterface in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()) {
Debug.WriteLine(netInterface.Name); // Name
Debug.WriteLine(netInterface.Speed); // Speed
Debug.WriteLine(netInterface.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString()); // MAC
}

C# Auto Update Program

OK, I am working on a program that will automatically download an update if the versions don't match.
The problem now is that it loads the info from an XML file, but it doesn't download the files specified.
Any suggestions to improve the code are welcome as well!
Here is the complete source code:

Thanks in advance for the help!
EDIT
The File to download, specified in Program.cs does not download and the program gets stuck at
currentFile = string.Empty;
label1.Text = "Preparing to download file(s)...";
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DownloadFiles)); // Making a new thread because I prefer downloading 1 file at a time
t.Start();
and it start the "Thread t".

I've not downloaded or reviewed your code, but if this is all C# based and on the v2.0 framework or higher you may want to check in to using ClickOnce. It will handle much of the auto updating for you and even allow users to continue using the program if they are offline and unable to connect to your update server.
