Packet Sniffer

Overview

This project is a packet sniffer tool designed to capture and analyze network packets on a selected network interface. It uses the scapy library to sniff packets and display them in a user-friendly format. The tool provides basic functionalities such as starting, pausing, and resuming packet sniffing.

Note: This project is currently under development. Some features may be subject to changes or improvements in future versions.

Features

• Capture packets on a selected network interface.
• Filter packets based on protocol (e.g., TCP, UDP, IP).
• Pause and resume sniffing as needed.
• Display packet summaries and details.
• Start and stop sniffing with a clean user interface built using Tkinter.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• scapy library
• psutil library
• tkinter library (included with Python standard library)
