I have a problem with a very basic usage of Scapy on Windows 7 (Python 3.6, Scapy 2.4.0). I'm also running Npcap 0.99r7 and Wireshark 2.6.2 on this sytem. The system does only have one wireless network interface plus the Npcap loopback interface.
I set up this very classic TCP server... :
import socket
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 8089
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((host, port))
s.listen(1)
connection, address = s.accept()
while 1:
try :
data = connection.recv(1024)
except ConnectionAbortedError:
break
if data:
print('Received: %s' % (data.decode ('utf-8')))
connection.sendall('Data received'.encode())
connection.close()
s.close()
...and I set up this very classic TCP client:
import socket
host = '127.0.0.1'
port = 8089
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((host, port))
s.send('Hello, world!'.encode())
data = s.recv(1024)
print('Received: %s' % (data.decode('utf-8')))
s.close()
Both works fine. Wireshark does report the whole TCP traffic on the loopback interface.
Now, I'm running the server, and I try to run that piece of code that would just send a SYN to the server with Scapy :
from scapy.layers.inet import IP
from scapy.layers.inet import TCP
from scapy.sendrecv import *
dstHost='127.0.0.1'
dstPort = 8089
packet = IP(src='127.0.0.1', dst=dstHost)/TCP(dport=dstPort, flags='S')
response=sr1(packet, timeout=10)
response.display()
Python reports :
Begin emission:
..Finished sending 1 packets.
......Traceback (most recent call last):
File "R:/Documents/Projets/python/hacking/scan.py", line 46, in <module>
response.display()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'display'
Received 8 packets, got 0 answers, remaining 1 packets
Moreover, Wireshark does not see anything on the loopback interface. May somebody give an hint ?
Update 1
As suggested, I tried a more explicit code using sendp() and not send(), since we are talking layer 2 here:
route_add_loopback()
packet = Loopback()/IP(src='127.0.0.1', dst='127.0.0.1')/TCP(dport=8089, flags='S')
sendp(packet,iface='Npcap Loopback Adapter')
Unfortunately, Wireshark does not sniff the packet on either interfaces (the 'Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235' and the 'Npcap Loopback Adapter').
Note that the call to route_add_loopback() is required, or show_interfaces() won't report the 'Npcap Loopback Adapter', which means that sendp() will fail. It is possible to restore the Scapy routing table by calling conf.route.resync () after route_add_loopback(), but the result is the same : Wireshark does not sniff the packet on either interface.
Should somebody find some Python piece of code running on Windows 7 that succesfully sends a simple TCP packet on the 'Npcap Loopback Adapter', he would be welcome...
