python - print scapy sniff output to file -


i have created sniffer in scapy , want packets captured scapy written onto file further analysis? 

def sniffer(ip):     filter_str = "icmp , host " + ip     packets=sniff(filter=filter_str,count=20)     f = open('log.txt',"a")     #f.write(packets)

the last line of code not work. there way this?

f.write expects character buffer, supply sniffed object result of calling sniff. can, simply, following:

f.write(str(packets))

this should work. won't display information it. going have more work collecting information packets strings before write f.

Java sticky instances of class com.mysql.jdbc.Field aggregating -
