DEVLOG 001 - Project Creation and structure

This is my first devlog i did write some code but the real progress was made with the structure of this project.

---

PACKET ATLAS

Packet Atlas will be a tool used to visualize network traffic while tools like nmap and wire shark show this with lines on a terminal ,Packet atlas will display every active machine and the data sent between them on a map with a scrollable timeline and animations.
All of which come from a packet capture file(.pcap)

I will be using python as the language with scapy for handling the pcap files and pygame for the animations

the project will have 2 main sections

Section 1 - Parsing

this will be dedicated to making a parser to organize all the data to make the animation and interactive part easier
as mentioned before i will be using scapy for dissecting the packets and seperating distinct conversations between machines in the bulk capture file

Section 2 - Animating

This will be the interactive part including animations for all the different machines making the animations etc.

I have a plan to seperate the different layers and adding different panes for them like the ones seen in the OSI model but i want to build some momentum in the project first before planning that

Section 3 - Bonus

If i have time left i will try and make this into a realtime app similar to a weather radar but for the internet!

Anyways heres some code i just created the folder and messed around with the scapy syntax to get a feel for the library
