Scapy – packet manipulation program

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 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.).

• Port Scanning:
  • SYN Scan.
  • Other TCP Scans.
  • UDP Scans.
  • IP Scan.
• Host Discovery:
  • ARP Ping.
  • ICMP Ping.
  • TCP Ping.
  • UDP Ping.
• OS Fingerprinting:
  • ISN.
  • nmap_fp.
  • p0f.
  • queso.
• Sniffer – includes powerful facilities for traffic capture and analysis.
• Wireless – can not only sniff and decode packets but also inject arbitrary packets.
