This repository contains a Python-based network packet analyzer tool developed using Scapy. The tool captures and analyzes network packets, providing detailed information about IP addresses, protocols, and payload data. The application includes a Jupyter Notebook explaining the code and its functionality. This tool is useful for learning about network traffic analysis and packet inspection.
- Capture Packets: Capture network packets from all interfaces.
- IP Analysis: Display source and destination IP addresses and the protocol used.
- Payload Inspection: View payload data of TCP/UDP packets if available.
- Customizable Packet Count: Configure the number of packets to capture.
- Educational Resource: Includes a Jupyter Notebook explaining the code and its components.
- Python 3.x
- Scapy
