Methods defined here:
- __init__(...)
- x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
- pcap_activate(...)
- pcap_activate() -> bool
Activate a capture handle
Raises an exception with an appropriate message in case of errors
- pcap_can_set_rfmon(...)
- pcap_can_set_rfmon() -> bool
Check whether monitor mode can be set for a not-yet-activated capture handle
- pcap_compile(...)
- pcap_compile( capture_filter ) --> bool
Compile a filter expression
- pcap_create(...)
- pcap_create( interface ) -> bool
Create a live capture handle
Raises an exception with an appropriate message in case of errors
Returns a True if it was successful
- pcap_datalink(...)
- pcap_datalink() -> int
Get the link-layer header type
- pcap_datalink_val_to_description(...)
- pcap_datalink_val_to_description() -> s
get a name or description for a link-layer header type value
- pcap_datalink_val_to_name(...)
- pcap_datalink_val_to_name() -> s
get a name or description for a link-layer header type value
- pcap_dump(...)
- pcap_dump()
write packets to a capture file
@count = Number of packets to capture. Default = unlimited
@uid = UID of the user to run as. Ex: nobody's UID
- pcap_dump_open(...)
- pcap_dump_open( filename ) -> bool
open a file to which to write packets
- pcap_list_datalinks(...)
- pcap_list_datalinks() -> list
Get a list of link-layer header types supported by a capture device
- pcap_loop(...)
- pcap_loop( [count], [uid] ) -> bool
Starts the pcap capture loop
@count = Number of packets to capture. Default = unlimited
@uid = UID of the user to run as. Ex: nobody's UID
For each packet captured, it will call the callback function
that was set via pcap_set_callback()
For the UID, somehting like 'pwd.getpwnam('nobody').pw_uid)' can be used
- pcap_open_offline(...)
- pcap_open_offline( filepath ) -> bool
open a saved capture file for reading
- pcap_sendpacket(...)
- pcap_sendpacket( packet ) -> bool
Transmit a packet
Returns True if the packet is succesfully sent
Raises an exception otherwise.
The MAC CRC doesn't need to be included, because it is transparently calculated
and added by the network interface driver.
Also see pcap_inject()
- pcap_set_buffer_size(...)
- pcap_set_buffer_size( size ) -> bool
Set the buffer size for a not-yet-activated capture handle
- pcap_set_callback(...)
- pcap_set_callback( func ) -> bool
Set the callback which will be used by pcap_loop
Raises and exception with an appropriate message
Returns a True if it was successful
- pcap_set_promisc(...)
- pcap_set_promisc( bool ) -> bool
Set promiscuous mode for a not-yet-activated capture handle
- pcap_set_rfmon(...)
- pcap_set_rfmon( bool ) -> bool
Set monitor mode for a not-yet-activated capture handle
Returns True if sucessful else returns False
- pcap_set_snaplen(...)
- pcap_set_snaplen( len ) -> bool
Set the snapshot length for a not-yet-activated capture handle
- pcap_set_timeout(...)
- pcap_set_timeout( timeout ) -> bool
Set the read timeout for a not-yet-activated capture handle
- pcap_snapshot(...)
- pcap_snapshot() -> int
get the snapshot length
- pcap_stats(...)
- pcap_stats() -> dict
get capture statistics
ps_recv: number of packets received
ps_drop: number of packets dropped because there was no room in the operating system's buffer when they arrived, because packets weren't being read fast enoug
ps_ifdrop: number of packets dropped by the network interface or its driver
bs_capt: number of packets captured (Win32)
