Putting the Packet Together

Explore how to combine IP and TCP packet layers with Scapy to build SYN scanning packets. Learn to nest multiple protocol headers into one packet, enabling effective port scanning by sending crafted packets to target systems.

Examining IP and TCP headers

We’ve defined the individual layers of a packet used in a SYN scanner. This includes defining the IP and TCP headers for the final packet. However, we can only send the packet over the network if we put the layers together into a single packet.

Technically, our SYN scanning packet requires ...
