2.6.0

_Note to package maintainers: it is important to point out that special care should be taken when porting/testing this release. The plateform-specific code aimed at reading the network configuration (interfaces, routes, etc.) has been entirely rewritten on both Linux and *BSD flavors. Plateforms that were tested include: Windows, Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Darwin. Other plateforms have not been tested, therefore we encourage maintainers to perform additional testing._

Changelog

General
- [removal] **DROP SUPPORT OF PYTHON 2.7**
- **Python 3.11-3.13 support**. The full range of supported Python versions is therefore **3.7-3.13**
- Improve packaging (`pyproject.toml`) and version handling. Scapy will now include wheels on pypi.
- We welcome Nils Weiss (polybassa) as a new maintainer !

Main changes
- **[major]** support for RFC6874-like scope identifiers. This is very useful for multicast IPs as one can now do the following on L3: `sr(IP(dst="224.0.0.1%eth0")/..., multi=True)`
- **[major]** using the `iface=` argument is deprecated on level3 functions (send, sr, sr1), as its behavior was undefined. It remains in use for level2 functions (sendp, srp, srp1). RFC6874-like scope identifiers (see just above) should be used.
- **[major]** the internals that read the routes and interfaces configuration **have been rewritten** on Linux and BSD:
- on linux, to use **RTNETLINK**. (this should help on machines that have huge BPG tables)
- on *BSDs, to use **PF_ROUTE**.
- on Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD, link-local and multicast routes should now properly be loaded
- **[new]** Windows protocols:
- DCE/RPC: `DCERPC_Client` and `DCERPC_Server` with support for `NCACN_IP_TCP` and `NCACN_NP`
- SMB2/3:
- Protocol refactor, many more SMB2/3 structures supported
- Server (class + 'simple' util `smbserver()`) (2.0.2 to 3.1.1)
- Client (class + interactive CLI `smbclient()`) (2.0.2 to 3.1.1)
- SMB socket, RPC over SMB socket, etc.
- Kerberos:
- KerberosSSP to use in SMB/RPC clients/servers, [MS-KILE] variants, SFU and more !
- Crypto: use cryptography, latest RFC8009, GSS_WrapEx support, typing, etc.
- Util functions krb_as_req, krb_tgt_req, kpasswd (both modes), etc.
- Ticketer++: ccache support, ask/renew/resign/edit tickets, etc
- NTLM:
- refactor, clean SSP
- Extensive GSSAPI / SPNEGO support !
- LDAP
- Fixes, ASN.1 Windows variation support
- dclocator, answering machine for "LDAP PING", etc.
- add a (very) basic `LDAP_client` (support for various binding mechanisms, encryption, etc.)
- [dep] Support for recent [`cryptography`](https://github.com/pyca/cryptography) (42/43.0) versions
- [new] CLI improvements
- [breaking] Scapy CLI configuration now available in `~/.config/scapy/startup.py`. This follows XDG variables. (Older `~/.scapy_startup.py` is now non functional)
- Support for `bpython`, `ptpython` and `ptipython`
- [new] Wireshark extcap interfaces support (`load_extcap()`)
- Automaton:
- fixes memory usage on Windows
- support for EOF events
- spawn() mode, better socket.socket support
- [breaking] `StreamSocket` changes, support for TCP reassembly, etc. TCPSession(app=True) must no longer be used with `StreamSocket`. Custom sessions are marked as unstable.
- Use `L3RawSocket(6)` automatically on the loopback interface on linux
- `L3pcapSocket` (the default L3 on Windows or when libpcap is used) now follows the same behavior as other L3 sockets when routing
- the `sr*` class of functions now properly supports sending on multiple interfaces (Windows & Linux)
- performance issues with the `sr*` class of functions have also been fixed
- `manufdb` (from wireshark) is now bundled and cached in `~/.cache/scapy`, as it is no longer shipped as a standalone file in Wireshark.
- Improve builtin answering machines (`dnsd`, `llmnrd`, `nbnsd`, `dhcpd`...). Add `mdnsd` for mDNS support
- Fix performance issues with nested `*ListFields`
- [new] `conf.nameservers` contains the DNS servers. Also adds `dns_resolve()`
- [new] SSHv2 layer
- [breaking] Rework `Session` objects
- Fix L2 address computation when ARP is used over Ether (intrusive ARPs, bad guessing..)
- [breaking] change `sendpfast` loop argument to be consistent with `sendp`
- automaton: improve `graph()` to include implicit links
- HTTP:
- [new] add `HTTP_Client` and `HTTP_Server` which support the same SSPs as Windows
- rework `http_client`
- various fixes to reassembly when using TCPSession
- TLS:
- support for TLS 1.3 post handshake
- support for EdDSA signatures / keys (ed25519/ed448)
- various fixes (ffdhe generation, middlebox compat)
- support choosing of curve, signature algorithms, etc.
- More options supported in DHCP(v6), IPv6, DNS/LLMNR (special thanks to evverx)
- Bluetooth, 802.11: new payloads supported
- IPSEC: AES-NULL-GMAC support
- [breaking] Merge EAPOL contrib into EAP
- fix latex theme
- IKEv2, ISAKMP: NAT traversal support, and other fixes (notify, ...)
- Minor fixes in Netflow, NTP, SCTP, TACACS
- [deprecation] Deprecate Winpcap support on Windows (please use Npcap instead if you are not already using it).
- [removal] Remove ubberlogger.
- cache `get_if_hwaddr` for performance
- fix `arping` without IP
- [new] tcpros layer (ROS 1.1)
- **many** more fixes
