Scamper Python Tools

Scamper is a scalable, efficient, and feature-rich Internet packet prober from CAIDA (http://www.caida.org/tools/measurement/scamper/).

Scamper stores data in a binary "warts" format.

These tools replicate the functionality of scamper's utilities by providing native python implementations. The following files are included:

• sc_warts.py: warts file reading library
• sc_warts_writer.py: warts writing library
• sc_stats.py: extends warts class to provide stats
• sc_warts2text.py: parse warts file, produce text output
• sc_wartsdump.py: parse binary warts files
• sc_analysis_dump.py: covert scamper traces to easily parsed text
• sc_wartsgrep.py: create warts file containing only records of specified target
• sc_sample.py: sample python using warts class (for developers)
• sc_sample_writer.py: sample python using warts_writer class (for developers)
• sc_attach.py: interact with scamper over control socket
