scapy

• This repository contains list of steps to get scapy running on Windows with Python 2.7.
• All credits, rights, and thanks go to the respective application and code developers.
• Please see scapy documentation for reference on installation, dependencies, and usage.
• Please see each install, application, library, etc., for license agreements, and make sure you comply.

Pre-requisites

These steps were tested on Windows 8.1 64-bit. Currently using Visual Studio to compile some of the dependencies (may look for free alternatives later). Visual Studio could be skipped if installing only pre-compiled binaries.

You should have the following installed already:

Package	Comments
Python 2.7	Tested with 32-bit version
Visual Studio - use Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 OR get a licensed version	Tested with VisualStudio 2013
pip or setuptools	You should consider using virtualenv
7zip	Or a similar zip/tar.gz extraction utility
chocolatey	Recommended for easy installation of dependencies

Note that you will have to run most/all of the installs from elevated privileges ('run as administrator').

Install Applications

Pick the add-ons you are planning to use.

Minimum requirement is npcap.

Application	Chocolatery
npcap	\
cryptography	\
Graphviz	choco install Graphviz
Matplotlib	choco install matplotlib
imagemagick	choco install imagemagick.app
miktex	choco install miktex
wireshark	choco install wireshark
nmap	choco install nmap
vpython
queso
tortoisehg	choco install tortoisehg

• You can replace tortoisehg with command line version of hg, or later download scapy source as a zip file.
• MikTex (and others) have to be installed to a path without space characters.
• Add to the PATH any other application you installed. For example, for MikTex - add the (MikTek Install Dir)\miktex\bin subdirectory to your PATH.

Install Scapy Dependencies

Pick the add-ons you are planning to use. You will need at least: pyreadline, pcapy, and dnet.

From command line (pip / easy_install executables are usually under c:\python27\scripts):

• pip install ipython (recommanded)
• pip install cryptography
• pip install matplotlib
• pip install pyx==0.12.1

Note: pyx version 0.13 and above are for Python3. As of this writing, 0.12.1 is the latest for Python2.

• Install pcapy from link1 or link2.
• Install dnet from link3 or link4.

Install Scapy

• Get latest scapy source code from source, or as a zip file.

• Open command prompt in the source folder and run: python setup.py install

• Unzip queso (downloaded above) to your Scapy directory (C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\scapy).

Test & Run

• Run scapy.bat from (c:\python27\scripts).
• If start up complains about missing dependencies - install them.
• If you see an error about mismatch between pcap and dnet:
  • Try closing other sniffers and restart scapy.
  • Try re-installing winpcap and restart.
  • If still not working, have a look at 1, 2, 3.
