how to run pkt2flow from python

[fbinishaq]

Hello,

how can I use pkt2flow in python scripts? I am generating the pcap file from python script and I want to get tcp sessions from that pcap file using a python script as well pkt2flow

Thanks,

Unfortunately, you can not use pkt2flow in python directly. Instead, you can write the pcap file to disk, and invoke pkt2flow using subprocess module in python to process the pcap file. May this help u.

Give a try

cmd = '/path/to/pkt2flow -o flows {0}'.format(pcap_file_name)
Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=PIPE).communicate()

Good luck! :+1:
