pypcap for Scapy on Windows

Scapy needs a Python module called pypcap as an interface to the Libpcap/WinPcap packet capture library. Unfortunately there is an issue with the current pypcap version 1.1 which leads to several problems for Scapy on Windows. Until this is fixed upstream, we offer a specially patched pypcap version here.

Just download and run this installer: pcap-1.1-scapy.win32-py2.5.exe (90.7 kB)

If you have an old version of pypcap installed, please uninstall it first. The patched version should be fully compatible with the original version by Dug Song. If you want to know the differences, have a look at this patch on the pypcap bugtracker.

At the moment this patched version is only available for Python 2.5. If you have to use Python 2.4, stick with the original version offered on the pypcap homepage. But you will have some problems with Ctrl-C, arping() and Traceroute() then. Scapy will be much less fun.
