What Is Scapy?

Scapy is a Python interpreter that enables you to create, forge, or decode packets on the network, to capture packets and analyze them, to dissect the packets, etc. It also allows you to inject packets into the network. It supports a wide number of network protocols and it can handle and manipulate wireless communication packets.
Scapy can be used to perform the jobs done by many network tools, such as nmap, hping, arpscan, and tshark (the command line of wireshark).
The concept behind Scapy is that it is cable of sending and receiving packets and it can sniff packets. The packets to be sent can be created easily using the built-in options and the received packets can be dissected. Sniffing of packets helps in understanding what communication is taking place on the network.
