Install Scapy: Scapy is a Python-based packet manipulation tool that can be installed using pip. Open your command prompt or terminal and type pip install scapy to install Scapy.

Import Scapy: Once Scapy is installed, you can start using it by importing it in your Python code. To do this, add the following line of code at the top of your Python script:

from scapy.all import *

This will import all the functions and classes from Scapy.

Create a packet: To create a packet using Scapy, you can define a Python dictionary with the packet fields you want to set. For example, to create an Ethernet packet with a source and destination MAC address, you can use the following code:

packet = Ether(src='00:11:22:33:44:55', dst='ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff')

This will create an Ethernet packet with the source MAC address set to '00:11:22:33:44:55' and the destination MAC address set to 'ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff'.

Send a packet: Once you have created a packet, you can send it using the send() function. For example, to send the Ethernet packet created in the previous step, you can use the following code:


send(packet)

This will send the packet over the network.

Receive packets: Scapy can also be used to receive packets from the network. To receive packets, you can use the sniff() function. For example, to receive 10 packets and print their summary, you can use the following code:


packets = sniff(count=10)
for packet in packets:
print(packet.summary())

This will receive 10 packets and print a summary of each packet.

This is just a basic overview of how to use Scapy. Scapy is a powerful tool with many advanced features. You can make ARP Poisoning, sniffers, wifi hacking tools from example. You can learn more about it by reading the official documentation and tutorials.
