How do you make a packet in Python?
Building the packet
Let's create a class TCPPacket , which will hold all the needed packet fields. I will omit options and data fields. Let's define the build function that will take those fields and encode them into a long bytes sequence. Here I use the built-in module struct .
What is packet in Python?
A simple packet sniffer in Python can be created with the help socket module. We can use the raw socket type to get the packets. A raw socket provides access to the underlying protocols, which support socket abstractions.
Why is Scapy used?
Scapy is a packet manipulation tool for computer networks, originally written in Python by Philippe Biondi. It can forge or decode packets, send them on the wire, capture them, and match requests and replies. It can also handle tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks, and network discovery.
