Hi, I'm trying to run the code using the below in my latest Kali Linux 6.12.20-amd64 & Python 3.13.2

cd research
sudo su
source venv/bin/activate

but still facing the following error

./test-injection.py

    from scapy.modules.six.moves import range
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scapy.modules.six.moves'

Following packages are installed -

When I upgraded scapy >= 2.5 I'm getting following error

./test-injection.py

    class MonitorSocket(L2Socket):

Can anyone please help how to resolve the issue !!!

Unfortunately, the Scapy version used by the fragattacks script is not compatible with recent Python releases. This will not get fixed in the next month(s). In the meantime, you can try to downgrade to an older Python version, or use an older Linux distribution.

Thank you @vanhoefm for your quick response. Got it working with Python 3.8.20

@vanhoefm By the way, on a different topic, this repo uses Scapy (GPL-2.0) and it's a derivative work of Scapy, not mere aggregation. Then shouldn't this repo also be distributed under GPL-2.0, not BSD?

[vanhoefm]

@jackshin98, there aren't any files from Scapy in this repository, so it's fine. The definition of what exactly 'derivative work' is has countless discussions online, so to get a definite answer, you'd have to look up court rulings that match this scenario.
