What is WakeARP?

WakeARP

WakeARP is a handy little tool that helps you send UDP packets super fast to all the hosts in a specific /24 network. What’s great about it is that it fills up your machine's ARP table with details about those hosts, and you can check them out using the command arp -a.

How WakeARP Works

The idea behind WakeARP is pretty straightforward. When you run this console utility, it quickly pings different devices on your local network. This way, you gather useful data about what's connected.

A Quick Note on Network Size

I had this working with some command flags like /A, /B, and /C, which are meant for different network sizes. But here's a fun fact: if you try sending a ton of UDP packets—like 2^16—in just a few seconds to random invalid IP addresses, Windows XP gets really cranky!

Why Use WakeARP?

If you need to quickly map out your network or troubleshoot issues, WakeARP can be super helpful. It’s lightweight and doesn’t take up much space on your computer. Plus, it gives you quick insights into what’s happening in your network.
