Following are some of the advantages of Scapy:
- Supports multiple network protocols
- Its API provides the classes needed to capture packets across a network segment and execute a function each time a packet is captured
- It can be executed in the command interpreter mode or it can also be used from scripts in Python programmatically
- It allows us to manipulate network traffic at a very low level
- It allows us to use protocol stacks and combine them
- It allows us to configure all the parameters of each protocol
Also, Scapy has some weaknesses:
- Can't handle a large number of packets simultaneously
- Partial support for certain complex protocols
