Re: How to save the packages received by a network interface or some port in a file and resend the packages received when needed?

Show all headers | View raw

Its possible using TCPDUMP and wireshark. however its a bit of a
manual process (open the pcap in wireshark, select the correct tcp
stream, and extract the file). I did this to show a vulnerability in
how medical images were transmitted in a university hospital once :)

Here are some guides, maybe it can serve as a jumping off point?

There are some C# libraries specifically for this:

Not sure if anything exists explicitly for python though.
