* Package name : pyshark Version : 0.6 Upstream Author : Dor Green <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/KimiNewt/pyshark * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : Python interface for parsing packet captures using Wireshark dissectors Pyshark is a Python module that provides programmatic access to packet data decoded by tshark, the command-line version of Wireshark. It exposes packets, protocol layers, and individual fields through a Python interface. . The module can read capture files such as PCAP and PCAP-NG, follow live traffic from a local interface, use ring-buffer capture mode, and read from remote capture sources served by rpcapd. Packet data is interpreted using the dissectors available in Wireshark, so protocol decoding is provided by tshark rather than reimplemented in Python. . Pyshark supports both packet summaries and detailed field-level access, along with display and BPF filtering, disabling selected protocol dissectors, and capture decryption for WEP, WPA-PWD, and WPA-PSK traffic. . It is suitable for inspecting existing capture files or analysing traffic observed on network interfaces, including Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, DNS, and Wi-Fi traffic when those protocols are decoded by the installed Wireshark dissectors. This library is a dependancy of Home Assistant, the Python smart home platform. I plan to maintain it as part of the Home Assistant team.
