Import & Export Data
PCAP format
Import packets from PCAP file.
>>> pkts = rdpcap("temp.cap")
>>> pkts = sniff(offline="temp.cap")
- Export packets to pcap file.
>>> wrpcap("temp.cap",pkts)
hexdump format
- Scapy allows you to export recorded packets in various hex formats
- Use
hexdump()function to display one or more packets using classic hexdump format
>>> hexdump(pkt)

- Hexdump above can be reimported back into Scapy using import_hexcap() function:
>>> pkt_hex = Ether(import_hexcap())

You can also convert entire packet into a hex string using str() function:

Base64
Scapy can export base64 encoded python data structure representing a packet using export_object() function.
