checkIPID = False

if 0, doesn’t check that IPID matches between IP sent and ICMP IP citation received if 1, checks that they either are equal or byte swapped equals (bug in some IP stacks) if 2, strictly checks that they are equals

checkIPinIP = True

if True, checks that IP-in-IP layers match. If False, do not check IP layers that encapsulates another IP layer

scapy.config.crypto_validator(func)

This a decorator to be used for any method relying on the cryptography library. # noqa: E501 Its behaviour depends on the ‘crypto_valid’ attribute of the global ‘conf’.

scapy.config.isCryptographyAdvanced()

Check if the cryptography module is present, and if it supports X25519, ChaCha20Poly1305 and such.

Notes: - cryptography >= 2.0 is required - OpenSSL >= 1.1.0 is required

scapy.config.isCryptographyValid()

Check if the cryptography module >= 2.0.0 is present. This is the minimum version for most usages in Scapy.

scapy.config.isPyPy()

Returns either scapy is running under PyPy or not

scapy.config.lsc()

Displays Scapy’s default commands

scapy.config.scapy_delete_temp_files()
