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). |
