UMPA - Umit's Manipulations of Packets Art

UMPA is a packet generation and manipulation library. It aims to provide an easy-to-use system to manipulate packets on every layer of the OSI model.

UMPA supports many sophisticated features, including:

  • auto-generating packets - defaults are provided for most fields
  • high-level editing of header fields - no knowledge of bit-level representation needed
  • auto-filling - checksum/length fields are generated automatically
  • interaction system - reacting and responding to network events
  • sniffing and sending packets - easy communication with real world

The goal of project is to get a powerful, easy to use and intelligent packet manipulation tool suitable both for beginners and experienced users. UMPA has a wide range of uses, including network diagnostics, auditing, stress testing and network stack debugging.

UMPA is developed in the Python programming language. It's used primarily as a Python library, although other frontends/bindings are to be developed during Google Summer of Code 2010.

Google Summer of Code

UMPA was born during Google Summer of Code 2008. Since then, much of the code has been written thanks to GSoC.

This year's participant, Kosma Moczek, is attempting to fix pending bugs, integrate missing functionalities and add support for new protocols. See the proposal for more details.

See the previous years archive for more information about current and past participants:
