Now that we've completed the Performing Packet
Sniffing Actions with Scapy module,
let's review the coverage we laid out in our introduction.
Our first few sections of this module were used to
onboard you into our environment,
including the first that sets up our scenario that we
will be following for this course,
as well as a review of the learning environment.
We then had a short section where we reviewed what Scapy is and isn't,
then moved into the meat of this module and covered the different ways that
traffic can be captured and parsed from within Scapy and Python.
A main part of this section and module overall was to
review some of the different ways that as a network
security engineer for Globomantics, you could perform these actions.
And with the Reviewing the Basics of Sniffing with Scapy section,
we plunged into the different options that are available with the
scapy sniff command and what they are used for,
along with a note on the wrpcap command that is used
to export captures once processed.
With these reviewed,
we then moved into our demonstration environment to show each of
these different parameters and how they worked in a real
environment using live and non‑live traffic.
We hope that this information was useful and will help further your
understanding of Python network security programming.
