spyHy

spyHy is a Python library designed for network monitoring and analysis. It provides tools for capturing network packets, decoding various network protocols, and performing basic traffic analysis. The library aims to simplify common networking tasks for developers and security professionals.

Key functionalities of spyHy include live packet capture from network interfaces, offline packet analysis from saved capture files, and the ability to filter packets based on various criteria such as IP addresses, ports, and protocols. spyHy supports common network protocols like TCP, UDP, and ICMP, allowing users to inspect the contents of these packets. The library also offers functionalities for protocol dissection, enabling deeper examination of packet payloads.

spyHy is built upon existing networking libraries and aims to provide a more user-friendly interface for certain tasks. It is often used in applications requiring real-time network traffic inspection, network troubleshooting, and educational purposes related to network fundamentals. The project is typically available as an open-source library, allowing for community contributions and modifications. While not as comprehensive as dedicated network analysis tools like Wireshark, spyHy offers a programmatic way to interact with network data within Python environments.
