Hello everyone, and welcome to Network Activity and Packet Analysis with Python.
My name is Sean Wilkins,
and this is the Covering Packet Manipulation with Scapy module.
I'd like to welcome you to this module where we will pick up from
where we left off in the Performing Packet Sniffing Actions with
Scapy module and start discussing the different ways that you can
create and manipulate packets.
But first,
we are going to take a little bit of extra time to review many of the common
ways that packets can be displayed for analysis with Scapy.
Remember that as a network security engineer,
it is vital that you not only know how to capture traffic that is suspect,
but also have the ability to break it down into little relevant
pieces so that you can analyze it for a pattern.
This is what the module intends to do.
To do all of this, this module will have four different sections.
The first section reviews many of the common Scapy commands that can be used
to display information in a variety of different ways,
both at the CLI and in module form.
This is then followed up with our second section where we move into the
demonstration environment and show some of these commands in use on the
captures that we performed in our previous module.
In our third section,
we will move back to the slide deck and talk about the
different ways to create packets within Scapy,
as well as a review of how to dissect the different parts of these packets
with the reviewed commands from our first two sections.
We then moved back into the demonstration environment and show
how traffic can be created and dissected.
And so now with all this out of the way, let's get started.
