Is that what you want? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show scapy Package: scapy Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 168 Maintainer: Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.9.14-1 Depends: python2.2 Filename: pool/main/s/scapy/scapy_0.9.14-1_all.deb Size: 43376 MD5sum: 953cc067a553b1ca61c3cdd840e8fbe2 Description: 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. joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
