Python wrapper for the pcap library.
Project description
pcap-ct
Python wrapper for the pcap library.
Overview
About original PyPCAP:
Borrowed from the original website:
PyPCAP
This is a simplified object-oriented Python wrapper for libpcap - the current tcpdump.org version, and the WinPcap port for Windows.
Example use:
>>> import pcap >>> sniffer = pcap.pcap(name=None, promisc=True, immediate=True, timeout_ms=50) >>> addr = lambda pkt, offset: '.'.join(str(ord(pkt[i])) for i in range(offset, offset + 4)) >>> for ts, pkt in sniffer: ... print('%d\tSRC %-16s\tDST %-16s' % (ts, addr(pkt, sniffer.dloff + 12), addr(pkt, sniffer.dloff + 16))) ...
Windows notes
WinPcap has compatibility issues with Windows 10, therefore it’s recommended to use Npcap (Nmap’s packet sniffing library for Windows, based on the WinPcap/Libpcap libraries, but with improved speed, portability, security, and efficiency). Please enable WinPcap API-compatible mode during the library installation.
