  Description     : Python 3 packet generator/sniffer and network scanner/discovery

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation tool, packet generator,
network scanner, network discovery, packet sniffer, etc. It can for the
moment replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump,
tethereal, p0f, ....

In scapy you define a set of packets, then it sends them, receives answers,
matches requests with answers and returns a list of packet couples (request,
answer) and a list of unmatched packets. This has the big advantage over
tools like nmap or hping that an answer is not reduced to
(open/closed/filtered), but is the whole packet.
