It is designed toĪllow fast packet prototyping by using default values that work.

Send them on the wire, capture them, store or read them using pcapįiles, match requests and replies, and much more. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, Scapy is a powerful Python-based interactive packet manipulation You mentioned python, scapy can do a LOT of raw packet things, might want to look at that. I'm using perl but any compiled app or python or C# or C++ or. Sniffed raw USB bytes would be OK, but it would be nicer if someone has already programmed/scripted extracting the Ethernet frames. Is anyone doing something similar or is there a tidy way to output the raw bytes? I have some perl scripts set up that operate on the raw frames output from tshark, (Wireshark command line) and I could easily feed it from any stream of frames/bytes. While it would be nice if WireShark could be made to work on USB capture, I'm really looking for an alternative way to grab the raw ethernet bytes. However, I see that, on Windows, WinPcap/WireShark doesn't support Ethernet capture over USB. It was a cheap Chinese device bought on Ebay but now that I've found an appropriate driver, it works OK. I have a USB-Ethernet adapter to add a second Ethernet port to my laptop.

I use WireShark to examine ethernet packet contents at the byte level (in/out of custom FPGA-based hardware). (Apologies: I uninstalled and reinstalled WinPcap and now I can see the extra interface! Suggestion found in Wireshark FAQ.
