How to sniff all packets on python when scapy and

问题:

I tried to sniff packets on Win10 using python. However, i find a lot of packets are actually dropped by scapy.

For example, I download a file of 2 MB from ftp, the wiresharks captures nearly 2000 packets and the scapy only captures 500.

I have tried pypcap and the result is almost the same, more than half of the packets are dropped, especially on downloading.

Is there a solution to avoid such loss and make scapy perform the same as wireshark, or there is no library on python capable of buffering a lot of packets in short time?

回答1:

You can have Scapy use tcpdump (or windump under Windows) to sniff the packets for you, using for example:

sniff(opened_socket=L2ListenTcpdump())
