I want to use rdpcap to open a traffic capture.
cap = rdpcap("Chall_1.pcapng")
but i receive the following error and I don't know how to solve it.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scapy/utils.py", line 979, in __call__

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
