# ymir | ||
ymir is a sniffing tool ("sniffer") which captures traffic sent between wow servers and clients and writes it to a file. | ||
|
||
## Disclaimer | ||
|
||
Use at your own risk, TrinityCore is not responsible for any actions caused (by Activision Blizzard, jurists or anyone else) due to usage of this tool. | ||
The generated sniff files contain private data (e.g. your real name), so its highly advised to only share it with TrinityCore developers and official contributors. | ||
|
||
Since initial development during patch 8.1.5/Retail no known bans were caused so far. Nevertheless this is no proof for total security. | ||
|
||
## Operating system requirements | ||
The sniffer is developed for usage on Windows 10. | ||
It might be possible to use it on OS X via. wine (untested) | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
1. Download and install Npcap using Npcap installer from https://nmap.org/npcap/ (and install it in **WinPcap compatibility mode**) | ||
2. Download sniffer binary for your version, patch from [Releases](http://github.com/TrinityCore/ymir/releases) and save it anywhere (preferably not in wow directory) | ||
|
||
## How to sniff | ||
1. Delete Cache directory within your relevant wow installation (for retail e.g. inside *\_retail\_* directory) | ||
2. Start *ymir_retail.exe* (name might be different depending on wow branch, e.g. *ymir_ptr.exe* for PTR) | ||
3. Start wow client (via Battle.net or explorer) | ||
4. Sniffs will be saved in the dump/ subdirectory next to the sniffer while playing | ||
5. When done playing just close wow regularly and wait for the sniffer to close automatically (usually happens 1-5s after client is closed) | ||
6. Compress sniff in 7z, rar or zip, upload them to any file hoster (e.g. mega, zippyshare) and share the links [in the TC Forum](https://community.trinitycore.org/forum/13-wdbadbsniffs/), we're working on an easier solution for this already. | ||
|
||
## Tips | ||
You can combine step 1 & 2 with a batch file (adjust paths to your needs, especially partitions *E:* and *F:*): | ||
```batch | ||
E: | ||
cd E:\Games\World of Warcraft\_retail_\ | ||
rmdir /S /Q Cache | ||
F: | ||
cd F:\ymir\Retail | ||
start ymir_retail.exe | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Sniff processing | ||
The saved sniffs may be further processed using [WowPacketParser](http://github.com/TrinityCore/WowPacketParser) | ||
