ICMP Packet Sniffer is a Python program that allows you to capture and analyze ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets on a network interface.
It provides detailed information about the captured packets, including source and destination IP addresses, MAC addresses, ICMP type, payload data, and more. The program can also store the captured packets in a SQLite database and save them in a pcap format.
git clone https://github.com/HalilDeniz/ICMPWatch.git
Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ICMPWatch.py [-h] [-v] [-t TIMEOUT] [-f FILTER] [-o OUTPUT] [--type {0,8}] [--src-ip SRC_IP] [--dst-ip DST_IP] -i INTERFACE [-db] [-c CAPTURE]
-v
or --verbose
: Show verbose packet details.-t
or --timeout
: Sniffing timeout in seconds (default is 300 seconds).-f
or --filter
: BPF filter for packet sniffing (default is “icmp”).-o
or --output
: Output file to save captured packets.--type
: ICMP packet type to filter (0: Echo Reply, 8: Echo Request).--src-ip
: Source IP address to filter.--dst-ip
: Destination IP address to filter.-i
or --interface
: Network interface to capture packets (required).-db
or --database
: Store captured packets in an SQLite database.-c
or --capture
: Capture file to save packets in pcap format.Press Ctrl+C
to stop the sniffing process.
python icmpwatch.py -i eth0
Sniff ICMP traffic on interface “eth0” and save the results to a file:
python dnssnif.py -i eth0 -o icmp_results.txt
Filtering by Source and Destination IP:
python icmpwatch.py -i eth0 --src-ip 192.168.1.10 --dst-ip 192.168.1.20
Filtering ICMP Echo Requests:
python icmpwatch.py -i eth0 --type 8
Saving Captured Packets
python icmpwatch.py -i eth0 -c captured_packets.pcap
