It's important to note that capturing packets may require root/admin permissions.
## Saving to a pcap file
Here is a modified version of the script that saves the captured packets to a pcap file:
```
from scapy.all import *
# Define a callback function
def packet_callback(packet):
print(packet.show())
wrpcap("captured_packets.pcap", packet, append=True)
# Use the sniff() function to capture packets
sniff(prn=packet_callback, filter="tcp", count=1)
```
This script uses the `wrpcap()` function from Scapy to save the captured packets to a `pcap` file named "captured_packets.pcap". The `append=True` argument is used to append the packets to the file instead of overwriting it.
