+Scapy is a powerful Python-based interactive packet manipulation program
+and library. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of
+protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, store or read them using
+pcap files, match requests and replies, and much more. It is designed to
+allow fast packet prototyping by using default values that work.
+
+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, wireshark, 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 techniques (VLAN hopping+ARP cache
+poisoning, VoIP decoding on WEP protected channel, ...), etc.
+
+Scapy supports Python 2.7 and Python 3 (3.4 to 3.9). It's intended to be
+cross platform, and runs on many different platforms (Linux, OSX, *BSD,
+and Windows).
