ARP Ping Tool Description
The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Ping tool uses
ARP packets to 'ping' a single IPv4 device on your LAN (subnet or
network segment). This tool forces responses from IPv4 devices even
if the device uses firewalls or other stealthy methods to hide from
standard ping sweep scanners.
If you need to do an ARP Sweep over a range of IP addresses as a
way of finding active devices, please
see the ARP tool and have a look at the ARP scan function.
Capabilities:
- Pings an IPv4 address with a broadcast MAC
address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) ARP packet, then if an ARP response
comes back, it continues to ping with a unicast ARP packet (unicast
means destined for a specific MAC address). Response time is
shown for each responding ARP ping.
- Pings an IPv4 address with a broadcast MAC
address ARP packet and continue to ping with a broadcast ARP
packet targeted at that IPv4 address. Response time is shown
for each responding ARP ping.
- Searches for duplicate IPv4 addresses using
broadcast ARP packets sent to a specific IPv4 address. All responding
MAC addresses are shown.
About ARP:ARP is
a protocol which associates an IPv4 address with a MAC (Media Access
Control) address (xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx) over an ethernet network segment.
ARP is normally not routed beyond a network segment. This tool uses
WinPcap to
generate ARP packets. See also the ARP
tool for additional ARP tools.
This tool requires a target
IP address on the same network segment or subnet as your computer
is currently using. Please note that this tool cannot 'ping' a MAC
address and get an IP address back in return -- the ARP protocol
does not work that way.
Windows Vista compatibility: Fully functional
as of v10.42.
