How to parse packets in a python library? [closed]

问题

How to you parse a packet from either a .pcap file, or an interface, using python?

I'm specifically looking for a solution that uses a well documented library.

回答1:

Try scapy. It is a very powerful program for packet inspection, manipulation and creation.

You can use it to build your own tools.

I tried that and then tried pcapy. I choose pcapy because my use was similar to an example which I found googling.

http://snipplr.com/view/3579/live-packet-capture-in-python-with-pcapy/ (or see the same code copied below)

import pcapy
from impacket.ImpactDecoder import *

# list all the network devices
pcapy.findalldevs()

max_bytes = 1024
promiscuous = False
read_timeout = 100 # in milliseconds
pc = pcapy.open_live("name of network device to capture from", max_bytes, 
    promiscuous, read_timeout)

pc.setfilter('tcp')

# callback for received packets
def recv_pkts(hdr, data):
    packet = EthDecoder().decode(data)
    print packet

packet_limit = -1 # infinite
pc.loop(packet_limit, recv_pkts) # capture packets

I recommend you to use Pyshark. this is wrapper for tshark. it also support all of tshark filter, decoder lib, ... and easy to use! This is a great package for parsing .pcap file and also livecapturing

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyshark

sample code (from the link):

import pyshark
cap = pyshark.FileCapture('/root/log.cap')
cap
>>> <FileCapture /root/log.cap>
print cap[0]
Packet (Length: 698)
Layer ETH:
        Destination: BLANKED
        Source: BLANKED
        Type: IP (0x0800)
Layer IP:
        Version: 4
        Header Length: 20 bytes

pycapfile can be also used. Link to pip: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypcapfile
