libcrafter
A high-level C++ library for crafting, decoding, and sniffing network packets with a Scapy-like interface.
What is libcrafter?
libcrafter is a high-level C++ library for crafting, decoding, and manipulating network packets. It provides a Scapy-like interface that allows developers to build, send, receive, and analyze network traffic by stacking protocol layers with sensible defaults. The library solves the problem of complex low-level network programming by offering an intuitive API for creating networking tools, security scanners, and protocol testers.
C++ developers building network security tools, traffic analyzers, protocol testers, or any application requiring low-level packet manipulation. It's particularly suited for those who need a Scapy-like experience in a C++ environment.
Developers choose libcrafter for its intuitive, high-level API that simplifies network packet manipulation compared to raw socket programming. Its thread-safe design, comprehensive protocol support, and built-in utilities like ARP spoofing helpers make it a powerful alternative to Python's Scapy for performance-critical C++ applications.
