Hide Scapy Warning Message IPv6

Question

I tried multiple times to hide, but no success. Any help?

I already tried -

from scapy.all import *
import logging
logging.getLogger("scapy.runtime").setLevel(logging.ERROR)

Still get the same warning on console.

WARNING: No route found for IPv6 destination :: (no default route?)

FYI, I'm using Scapy with Python 2.7 on OS Mavericks.

Answer 1

You need to import logging and adjust the settings for the logging message first.

What's happening is you import scapy into your namespace, trigger the error - and then change the logging settings.

import logging
logging.getLogger("scapy.runtime").setLevel(logging.ERROR)
from scapy.all import *

Answer 2

If you want to disable IPv6 in scapy but leave warnings (which is a good thing), use the following code:

from scapy.config import conf
conf.ipv6_enabled = False
from scapy.all import *

The source code of scapy.all reveals this little secret.

Answer 3

I know that this question is old, but I might have found an elegant answer. Are you building IPv6 packets? If not, then what you could do is, instead of:

from scapy.all import *

Use:

from scapy.layers.inet import IP

The problem is there are two IP classes, one in the package from scapy.layers.inet and one in from scapy.layers.inet6 . Should you use the former import statement, you will import both even though you are only building version 4 packets.

All of this is assuming you are intending to use IPv4 only, which I reckon is the case.
