PyShark

PyShark is a wrapper for the Wireshark CLI (TShark), so we can have all Wireshark decoders in the PyShark. We can use PyShark to sniff an interface or we can analyze the pcap files.

Getting ready

When using this module, make sure to install Wireshark on your system and install pyshark using the pip command:

pip3 install pyshark  

Also, make sure you have installed TShark on your machine. TShark is the terminal-based Wireshark, which is used by PyShark for packet capturing functions.
