The Power of Scapy
Summary: Cisco Talos published a short post promoting Judy Novak's SANS class on Scapy, an in-depth course on the Scapy API that moves students from basic awareness to building complex packet-crafting scripts. The post lists uses including testing Snort rules with real traffic, verifying packet-munging devices, building a proof of concept for a new NAT vulnerability, and pen-testing a new communication channel, and notes the next class is in Las Vegas on September 19th.
What you should know: The post frames packet crafting as routine work for testing detection rules and proving out vulnerabilities, which means the same capability sits behind both your validation exercises and an attacker's proof-of-concept work.
