+      Scapy is a powerful Python-based interactive packet manipulation program
+      and library.
+
+      It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send
+      them on the wire, capture them, store or read them using pcap files,
+      match requests and replies, and much more. It is designed to allow fast
+      packet prototyping by using default values that work.
+
+      It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting,
+      probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace hping,
+      85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, wireshark, p0f, etc.). It
+      also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other
+      tools can't handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own
+      802.11 frames, combining techniques (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning,
+      VoIP decoding on WEP protected channel, ...), etc.
+
+      Scapy supports Python 2.7 and Python 3 (3.4 to 3.8). It's intended to be
+      cross platform, and runs on many different platforms (Linux, OSX, *BSD,
+      and Windows).
