macOS Installing scapy for Python 2.5

[fishinatree]

I'm trying to get access to the tools provided by Scapy for the purpose of Python programming, but I can't get it to install. I followed the directions here: http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/portability.html, but the first method (for Mac os X halfway down page) doesn't provide a way of accessing CVS (my login gets denied). The Darwinports installation of scapy doesn't work.

That's the output I get. Can someone please help me get this working? I'm running Python 2.5 on 10.5.4.

Have you had any luck with this? I'm trying to do the same thing. The stupid binary installer for macports didn't even work right for me because I can't see any of the items it refers to. And of course the scapy install via ports doesn't work as well, it fails at the end.

may it's this...

Does anyone know how to enable Apache 1.3 or 2? Maybe a command line tool or something similar.

And myjay610, what's the problem you run into at the end? Can you post some console output or something?

Here's my error list, it's a bunch of compiler errors when trying to install sqllite, not sure why it's installing that for scapy but it is.

Ok, I got Scapy running on 10.5. It's running off of python 2.4 and at version 1.1.1 but it's what I'm going to work with for now!

Here's what I did:
installed python2.4 (download: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.5/Python-2.4.5.tar.bz2 )

Installation (follow these!) ... it has to be tweaked for 10.5
un-package and cd into the directory
./configure
vim pyconfig.h (or use any editor)
add: #define SETPGRP_HAVE_ARG 1 to the top
make
make install

Now you should be able to type python2.4 and get 2.4.5 running, and typing 'python' will still bring up 2.5.x

So I tried (for the heck of it) python2.4 scapy.py and got the error, missing pcap module.

So went back to the handy dandy portability page and tried following their instructions for pcap...nope. So I went and downloaded, the newest version, 0.6.2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pylibpcap

install:
pylibpcap-0.6.2.tar.gz
tar zxf pylibpcap-0.6.2.tar.gz
cd pylibpcap-0.6.2
python2.4 ./setup.py build
sudo python2.4 ./setup.py install

then, python2.4 scapy.py and:
Welcome to Scapy (v1.1.1 / f88d9910220)
>>>

Haven't written any scripts yet, but that's where I'm at.

Good luck! And if anyone gets it for 2.5 please share!

John

Wow! Thanks! I have to use sudo to get it to work, but it finally works! On its webpage http://secdev.org/projects/scapy/portability.html#osx, it only lists installation for 10.4, which might mean that Scapy hasn't been modified to run w/ 10.5 and Python 2.5 at the same time. I don't really know...I'm a relative newcomer to this whole thing.
But thank you very much for your help.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that you should run it as sudo. Same if you are just going to use the python interactive mode, you would do 'sudo python2.4' then 'from scapy import *' ... for some reason sometimes I have to do the import statement twice.
