Scapy - AbhiAgarwal/notes GitHub Wiki

Scapy is a tool, written in Python, for manipulating network packets. It can be used for capturing packets, forging them and decoding them. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, there are also a lot of other network related tasks that Scapy can handle.

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tethereal, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can't handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel, ...), etc. See interactive tutorial and the quick demo: an interactive session (some examples may be outdated).
