Network packet-creator and packet-capturer module

netpacket, a Python module written in CPython
=============================================

|Build Status|

netpacket is a packet-creator module that supports ethernet, ARP, IPv4,
IPv6, ICMPv4, TCP, UDP and DHCPv4. It also contains a packet-capturer
called ppcap (Python pcap). The project contains the raw CPython
bindings, and a wrapper library written in Python, which can be found in
the directory "netpacket".

The module tries to be as user-friendly as it can be, leaving tasks like
big-endian and little-endian fields to the module itself, the programmer
only has to fill in the fields without concerning himself about it.

Note concerning IPv4 and IPv6
=============================

IPv4 and IPv6 is the same class, but the programmer will be jailed into
IPv4 or IPv6 usage based on an argument passed to the IP class or
protocol classes above. IPv4: 0x0800, IPv6: 0x86dd. IPv4 is already
default, and no argument needs to be passed.

Example:

.. code:: python

    obj = _netpacket.udp()
    print(obj)
    obj = _netpacket.udp(0x86dd)
    print(obj)

<\_netpacket.udpv4 object at 0x7fbff03e3510> <\_netpacket.udpv6 object
at 0x7fbff03e3570>

Installation
============

::

    # Install libpcap dependency (using gentoo@portage-tree)
    emerge --ask net-libs/libpcap --quiet-build
    # Install libpcap dependency (using archlinux)
    pacman --sync core/libpcap
    # Build
    python setup.py build
    # Build and install
    python setup.py install

Examples
========

All examples can be found in the directory "examples". Docstrings is
also available for very protocol class and the ppcap class.

Platforms supported
===================

netpacket for now only supports Linux, but will support the Unix
variants and Mac OS X once the BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) device
implementation is coded in.

Python versions supported
=========================

netpacket only supports Python3, and will never have any support for
Python2.

Things that will be present in later stages
===========================================

-  IPv4 options.
-  IPv6 options.
-  TCP options.
-  Application-layer classes:

   -  DNS.
   -  HTTP.
