Read pcap file

from pylibpcap.pcap import rpcap


for len, t, pkt in rpcap("tests/dns.pcap"):
    print("Time:", t)
    print("Buf length:", len)
    print("Buf:", pkt)

Write pcap file

from pylibpcap import wpcap


buf = b'\x00\xc0\x9f2A\x8c\x00\xe0\x18\xb1\x0c\xad\x08\x00E\x00\x008' \
        b'\x00\x00@\x00@\x11eG\xc0\xa8\xaa\x08\xc0\xa8\xaa\x14\x80\x1b' \
        b'\x005\x00$\x85\xed\x102\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' \
        b'\x00\x06google\x03com\x00\x00\x10\x00\x01'


wpcap(buf, "pcap.pcap")
wpcap([buf, buf], "pcap.pcap")

from pylibpcap import OpenPcap


with OpenPcap("pcap.pcap", "a") as f:
    f.write(buf)

Merge pcap file

from pylibpcap.pcap import mpcap


mpcap("demo.pcap", "demo2.pcap")
mpcap("pcap/", "output.pcap", "port 502")

Get first iface

from pylibpcap import get_first_iface

print(get_first_iface())

Get iface list

from pylibpcap import get_iface_list

print(get_iface_list())

Send raw packet

from pylibpcap import send_packet


buf = b'\x00\xc0\x9f2A\x8c\x00\xe0\x18\xb1\x0c\xad\x08\x00E\x00\x008' \
        b'\x00\x00@\x00@\x11eG\xc0\xa8\xaa\x08\xc0\xa8\xaa\x14\x80\x1b' \
        b'\x005\x00$\x85\xed\x102\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' \
        b'\x00\x06google\x03com\x00\x00\x10\x00\x01'

send_packet("enp2s0", buf)

Capture packet

from pylibpcap.pcap import sniff


for plen, t, buf in sniff("enp2s0", filters="port 53", count=-1, promisc=1, out_file="pcap.pcap"):
    print("[+]: Payload len=", plen)
    print("[+]: Time", t)
    print("[+]: Payload", buf)

from pylibpcap.base import Sniff

sniffobj = None

try:
    sniffobj = Sniff("enp2s0", filters="port 53", count=-1, promisc=1, out_file="pcap.pcap")

    for plen, t, buf in sniffobj.capture():
        print("[+]: Payload len=", plen)
        print("[+]: Time", t)
        print("[+]: Payload", buf)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass
except LibpcapError as e:
    print(e)

if sniffobj is not None:
    stats = sniffobj.stats()
    print(stats.capture_cnt, " packets captured")
    print(stats.ps_recv, " packets received by filter")
    print(stats.ps_drop, "  packets dropped by kernel")
    print(stats.ps_ifdrop, "  packets dropped by iface")
