Hello, I'm not sure that my question suits the scope of this list, sorry if I'm wrong. I want to find a way to send a packet to a wired box which ip address is unknown, and where no dhcp client and/or server runs, in order to find the MAC address of the target. Is there a way to do this using Ethernet protocol What kind of software is the most usefull for this kind of software? How could Nmap be helpfull ? I found the ethernet packet generator Packeth tool on my debian box, but I don't know how to use it and generate well formed packets. Can I get any advice ? Thanks, Xavier Droubay
Hi! If you can isolate the box to a subnet alone with your Debian machine you can try the following: nmap -sT -PI -PT 192.168.0.0/16 nmap -sT -PI -PT 10.0.0.0/8 Alternatively you can use wireshark, iptraf, tcpdump, etc. to sample and analyze network traffic. This requires that you actually can sample all network traffic to and from the box, e.g. switch with IDS port or a old plain hub. Regards, H.Willstrand
