[mcgyver5]

Basic info

Application name: Scapy Application repo link: https://github.com/secdev/scapy Application home link: https://scapy.net/ Application description: Python-based interactive packet manipulation program & library.

Qualifications

There are a ton of great Python projects out there, but what makes an application "Awesome™"? Please check that all of the following criteria apply:

• [x] Free software with an online source repository.
• [x] Using Python for a considerable part of their functionality.
• [x] Well-known, or at least prominently used in an identifiable niche.
• [x] Maintained or otherwise demonstrably still functional on relevant platforms.
• [x] An application, not a library or framework.

Note that installability via pip/PyPI and a developer-audience focus may warrant a higher standard for inclusion, in keeping with the spirit of the list:

Scapy is indeed awesome, and notable, but I've never really thought of it as an application. I've only ever used it by importing a Python module. Does it have a non-Python-REPL interaction pattern?

[mcgyver5]

I think it is only a Python REPL interaction pattern. I think maybe it isn't appropriate for the list. Sorry!

Not a problem, it's not like you're self-promoting or something. Always happy to revisit awesome projects, even if they're not applications :)
