Permission issue when using scapy - jao - Feb-05-2022
Hello, I'm learning the Scapy tool and right from the start I'm having a problem i can't solve
Here's the Python code:
from scapy.all import sr1, IP, ICMP p = sr1(IP(src = '8.8.8.8')/ICMP()) p.show()A permission error is returned:
Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testes.py", line 3, in <module>
p = sr1(IP(dst='8.8.8.8')/ICMP())
File "/home/jao/Documentos/teste-scapy/scapy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/scapy/sendrecv.py", line 648, in sr1
s = conf.L3socket(promisc=promisc, filter=filter,
File "/home/jao/Documentos/teste-scapy/scapy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/scapy/arch/linux.py", line 486, in __init__
self.ins = socket.socket(
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 231, in __init__
_socket.socket.__init__(self, family, type, proto, fileno)
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permittedsudo python3 script.py and an import error was posted:Error:Traceback (most recent call last):

from scapy.all import sr1,IP,ICMP
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scapy.all'Environment
OS: Linux Mint 20.2 x86_64
Scapy 2.4.5
Python 3.8.10
I'm using virtualenv so that script frameworks don't mix with s.o.

Try -E switch to preserve environment.
sudo -E python script_name.py

When you try to use sudo,it does not recognize the system path.
So need sudo install to,or try make a virtual environment(build into Python) and run scapy from there.

It worked, thank you
. If I had installed Scapy with sudo pip3 install scapy i would still have the same problem?I intend to create an executable with this script for it to work on other computers, will it be necessary to run this script with root permission?

Quote:I intend to create an executable with this script for it to work on other computers, will it be necessary to run this script with root permission?Yes scapy accesses the raw socket on OS,so the will need same root/sudo acess when run the code.
