python live data tracing similar to wireshark

based upon tshark pyshark provides the functionalities.

INSTALLATION

>> pip install pyshark

After installing the wheel we can access the function provided by the library. One of the example is

import pyshark
capture = pyshark.LiveCapture(interface='eth0')
capture.sniff(timeout=50)
print(capture)

> The above command imports pyshark and captures the data streaming over the selected ‘eth0’ interface. The timeout is set for the pyshark to trace the data.

f = ("layers.txt", "w")
if len(capture) > 0:
    for packet in capture:
        val = packet.__dict__['layers']
        print(str(val)
        f.writelines(val)

> this command checks the library for traced data and stores in layers.txt file.
