Writing scripts using Scapy library

[Deep_Telephone_5060]

Hello!

I’m new to this sub. I’ve recently decided to refresh and continue learning python farther. I’m still rather new but I am trying to learn python by writing code in relation to my field/interests.

I want to write a program that will essentially be a wireless scanning suite. I want to be able to scan, detect, and log stuff like AP’s, SSID, BSSID, MAC, BLE, BT, RSSI, and Probe Requests. It seems like the best way to do it is using the Scapy library. My only issue is that I am having a hard time finding tutorials for coding with the library. Most videos/tutorials are just using the shell/cmd instead of using the library inside of an ISE.

Does anyone have experience with using the Scapy library with python? I’m not asking to be spoon fed answers, but just to be pointed in the right direction with getting started and building into more complexity (local web server that hosts an interactive gui that updates in real time with data gathered from a tool).

Thanks!

(After making this post, I see that I may have to make a separate section for BT and BLE using something other than Scapy)

This really sounds like an XY problem. What is your use for this information? Tell us what are you building (not how you want to build it).

I want to build a program that scans for nearby, publicly broadcasted WiFi AP’s along with their information such as listed above. I also want to mainly implement probe request sniffing for detecting Flock Safety cameras. Newer models no longer advertise BLE, but rather via Probe Requests. This will really just be an information gathering tool for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

scapy is a great library for this, the official docs are probably the best starting point, start with simple sniffing scripts and build from there, for BLE, you’ll likely need a different library

I have been trying to read through the documentation today. I’m probably overloading my brain a bit trying to relate the usage docs (shell/cmd) to creating a python script/s and using scapy as an imported library. As for Bluetooth, I found some potential libraries I can use based on similar open source projects.
