NEW: PacketManipulator 0.3 released - including Windows Installer

Please use windows xp installer (it works with Windows XP and 7 too)

Packet Manipulator

PacketManipulator is a network scanning frontend.

PacketManipulator is developed in the Python programming language, and its interface is built with the GTK Toolkit.

The project goal is to develop a frontend that is really useful for advanced users and easy to be used by newbies. With PacketManipulator, network admin can forge custom packets and send them over the wire to analyze the network, sniff on a selected interface or simply edit a pcap file for further replay.

PacketManipulator is developed and maintained by:

  • Francesco Piccinno (stack dot box at gmail dot com)

Stable release

Packet Manipulator 0.2 is the stable release:

The windows installer should be compatible with Windows Vista, but there's a bug in installer that prevents PM working (See ticket #312).

Note that you should be Administrator to use PM with fully functionality under this OS, so make sure to right click on the shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".

Installation

Use the distutils compatible setup.py file provided to produce a source tarball and then use it: 

$ svn co http://svn.umitproject.org/svnroot/umit/packet-manipulator/trunk PacketManipulator
$ cd PacketManipulator
$ python setup.py sdist
$ ls dist/PacketManipulator-0.3.tar.gz
dist/PacketManipulator-0.3.tar.gz
$ cd dist/ && mkdir temp && cd temp/
$ tar xvfz ../PacketManipulator-0.3.tar.gz
# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

If you want to enable the moo docking library try with: 

# PM_DOCKING=1 python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

If you're using Ubuntu Linux avoid the use of --prefix=/usr as explained here and here, in order to avoid a broken installation. Try instead our deb packages available from SF page.

Windows

As usual Windows deserves a different method for installation. Please follow the instructions present in PacketManipulator/WindowsInstallation page of this wiki (if you are masochist enough to use Windows to run PacketManipulator of course).

Bugs

Obviously no bugs are present. All errors are intentional. To create a random one click here.
