Description

Lets Python programs capture and inspect network packets through libpcap. It is useful for diagnostics, monitoring tools, protocol experiments, and applications that need low-level visibility into network traffic.

Packet capture can expose private communication metadata or payloads and may require elevated permissions. Use only on networks and systems where you are authorized to inspect traffic.
