Espionage is a network packet sniffer that intercepts large amounts of data being passed through an interface. The tool allows users to to run normal and verbose traffic analysis that shows a live feed of traffic, revealing packet direction, protocols, flags, etc. Espionage can also spoof ARP so, all data sent by the target gets redirected through the attacker (MiTM). Espionage supports IPv4, TCP/UDP, ICMP, and HTTP. Espionage was written in Python 3.8 but it also supports version 3.6. This is the first version of the tool so please contact the developer if you want to help contribute and add more to Espionage. Note: This is not a Scapy wrapper, scapylib only assists with HTTP requests and ARP.

[-t TARGET]
optional arguments:
-h, –help show this help message and exit
–version returns the packet sniffers version.
-n, –normal executes a cleaner interception, less sophisticated.
-v, –verbose (recommended) executes a more in-depth packet interception/sniff.
-url, –urlonly only sniffs visited urls using http/https.
-o, –onlyhttp sniffs only tcp/http data, returns urls visited.
-ohs, –onlyhttpsecure
sniffs only https data, (port 443).
-hr, –httpraw displays raw packet data (byte order) recieved or sent on port 80.
(Recommended) arguments for data output (.pcap):
-f FILENAME, –filename FILENAME
name of file to store the output (make extension ‘.pcap’).
(Required) arguments required for execution:
-i IFACE, –iface IFACE
specify network interface (ie. wlan0, eth0, wlan1, etc.)
(ARP Spoofing) required arguments in-order to use the ARP Spoofing utility:
-t TARGET, –target TARGET
