# Packets sniffer

Written as part of self-study. The python [library socket](https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html) was used . Below I will present what was helpful to create the above application.

# What`s i need to know ?

* Exterior Gateway Protocol in Hex format from [list of IP protocol numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IP_protocol_numbers) 

  and you should know something about  [packet reading](https://www.cs.ryerson.ca/~zereneh/linux/PacketReading.pdf)

* If you run this program on Windows, you show this:

```bash

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\packets_sniffer.py", line 165, in 

    main()

  File "C:\packets_sniffer.py", line 141, in main

    sniffer_socket = socket.socket(socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.htons(0x0003))

                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'PF_PACKET'

```

If you want to run it on Windows, you should PF_PACKET change to AF_INET in socket.
