How can I call the send function without getting output?

python, scapy

Solution

Try the `verbose` parameter. Scapy documentation says that `verbose` should "make the function totally silent when 0". Both `False` and `0` appear to work. For example:

>>> send(IP(dst="1.2.3.4")/ICMP())
.
Sent 1 packets.
>>> send(IP(dst="1.2.3.4")/ICMP(), verbose=0)
>>> send(IP(dst="1.2.3.4")/ICMP(), verbose=False)
>>>

You can get little more information using `help()`:

>>> help(send)
Help on function send in module scapy.sendrecv:

send(x, inter=0, loop=0, count=None, verbose=None, realtime=None, *args, **kargs)
    Send packets at layer 3
    send(packets, [inter=0], [loop=0], [verbose=conf.verb]) -> None
(END)

Problem

Does anyone know how to send a packet using scapy and not receive any output? This is the command: ``` send(packet, iface="eth0") ``` This is the output ``` Sent 1 packets. ``` I'm trying to get it not to print the packet count line at all.
