import pyshark
capture = pyshark.LiveCapture(interface = 'wlan0')
capture.sniff(timeout=1)
print(capture)
I get this as result: "LiveCapture (0 packets)"
But how is possible to get 0 packets all the time?

Do you still get this issue if you capture for a longer time? It started working for me with a timeout>=3. – pchaigno Jan 13 '19 at 14:29

With timeout>=3 i get a good number of packages. But my problem is that I need packages per second every second in Real-Time so that can't solve my problem. – Xristos Arthur Xenophontos Jan 28 '19 at 12:34

When you say "packages", do you mean apt packages or the like? – pchaigno Jan 29 '19 at 09:37

I mean packets, sorry for that. – Xristos Arthur Xenophontos Jan 29 '19 at 22:30

Any reason you can't use the interface's statistics? – pchaigno Jan 30 '19 at 05:48

There are not statistics in pyshark. – Xristos Arthur Xenophontos Jan 31 '19 at 15:57

I meant the statistics of your network interface. I'm guessing you're running Linux. Can't you retrieve the statistics from `/proc/net/dev`, or `ifconfig`, or `ip -s link`? – pchaigno Jan 31 '19 at 17:49

I want to receive the packets per second in real time. Why should I use the statistics? – Xristos Arthur Xenophontos Feb 01 '19 at 13:44

My bad, I though you wanted to measure the "packets per second ratio". What you want is to receive packets with a <=1s delay, right? – pchaigno Feb 05 '19 at 09:06
-
No I want to measure "packets per second ratio" every second as you said but getting it through the python code. i.e 20 packets/second, 200 packets/second and so..... – Xristos Arthur Xenophontos Mar 01 '19 at 22:07
-
Well, the Linux statistics give you the number of packets at all time from which you can compute the packet per second speed. I don't get why you can't use the statistics. – pchaigno Mar 02 '19 at 06:11

Because I want that in real-time. – Xristos Arthur Xenophontos Oct 20 '19 at 17:38
