| 3 | +Scapy is a powerful Python-based interactive packet manipulation |
| 4 | +program and library. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, |
| 7 | +send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and |
| 8 | +much more. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, |
| 11 | +probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace |
| 12 | +hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tethereal, p0f, |
| 13 | +etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks |
| 14 | +that most other tools can't handle, like sending invalid frames, |
| 15 | +injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP |
| 16 | +cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel, ...), |
| 17 | +etc. |
