Description
Pcapy is a Python extension module that enables software written in Python to access the routines from the pcap packet capture library.
From libpcap's documentation: Libpcap is a system-independent interface for user-level packet capture. Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network monitoring. Applications include network statistics collection, security monitoring, network debugging, etc.
Pcapy is most useful when used together with a packet handling package such as Impacket, a collection of Python classes for contructing and dissecting network packets.
