Send them on the wire, capture them, store or read them using pcapįiles, match requests and replies, and much more. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, Scapy is a powerful Python-based interactive packet manipulation You mentioned python, scapy can do a LOT of raw packet things, might want to look at that. I'm using perl but any compiled app or python or C# or C++ or. Sniffed raw USB bytes would be OK, but it would be nicer if someone has already programmed/scripted extracting the Ethernet frames. Is anyone doing something similar or is there a tidy way to output the raw bytes? I have some perl scripts set up that operate on the raw frames output from tshark, (Wireshark command line) and I could easily feed it from any stream of frames/bytes. While it would be nice if WireShark could be made to work on USB capture, I'm really looking for an alternative way to grab the raw ethernet bytes. However, I see that, on Windows, WinPcap/WireShark doesn't support Ethernet capture over USB.

It was a cheap Chinese device bought on Ebay but now that I've found an appropriate driver, it works OK. I have a USB-Ethernet adapter to add a second Ethernet port to my laptop. I use WireShark to examine ethernet packet contents at the byte level (in/out of custom FPGA-based hardware). (Apologies: I uninstalled and reinstalled WinPcap and now I can see the extra interface! Suggestion found in Wireshark FAQ.
