Virtualenv for root
Some of the commands of Scapy can be executed as a regular user, others require the elevated rights of the root user on Linux.
Therefore we create a Python virtual environment for the root user in the /opt/venv3 directory, we’ll install scapy in this virtual environment
and will use it when necessary.
sudo virtualenv /opt/venv3
