ICMP packet sniffer for capturing, analyzing, and logging Echo Request/Reply packets with filtering, SQLite storage, and PCAP export for network diagnostics and security monitoring.
ICMP Packet Sniffer is a Python program that allows you to capture and analyze ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets on a network interface. It provides detailed information about the captured packets, including source and destination IP addresses, MAC addresses, ICMP type, payload data, and more. The program can also store the captured packets in a SQLite database and save them in a pcap format.
