I've recently discovered Scapy & it looks wonderful I'm trying to look at simple traffic over a physical loopback module / stub on my NIC. But Scapy sniff doesn't give anything What I'm doing to send a packet is: payload = 'data'*10 snf = sniff(filter="icmp", iface="eth0") for x in xrange(1, 10): sendp(Ether(dst=src_mac, src=spoof_src_mac)/IP(dst=dst_ip, src=spoof_src_ip)/ICMP()/payload, iface=ifname) f.open('scapylog.log', 'w') f.write(str(snf)) with src_mac = my mac address & dsp_ip my ip address. the "spoof" fields are just random (valid) mac & ip values. The resulting sniff / logfile is empty. nothing to report I can see that traffic is going in the network through the ifconfig stats of the interfaces that increment each time I call this script - so traffic is flowing... If someone has an idea why I'm not seeing my traffic I'd be happy to hear Thanks! Continue reading...
