Question

I want to sniff all the HTTP packets in my computer via python(version2.6.. is this possible? can I do it with scapy, or without other external modules?

Answer 1

FTR, Scapy will support HTTP packets starting from 2.4.3: https://scapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/layers/http.html

>>> HTTPRequest().show()
###[ HTTP Request ]###
  Method= 'GET'
  Path= '/'
  Http_Version= 'HTTP/1.1'
  A_IM= None
  Accept= None
  Accept_Charset= None
  Accept_Datetime= None
  Accept_Encoding= None

Sniff demo:

from scapy.layers.http import * # read the doc
from scapy.sendrecv import sniff
