Description

Builds, sends, captures, and analyzes network packets from Python code and interactive workflows. It is useful for diagnostics, protocol experiments, education, and security testing where low-level packet control is needed.

Use it only on networks and systems where you have permission. Packet crafting and sniffing can expose private traffic or disrupt services, and some operations require elevated privileges.
