# The net/arp-scan port

## arp-scan-1.9p1 – ARP scanning and fingerprinting tool

## Description

    arp-scan is a command-line tool for system discovery and fingerprinting.
    It constructs and sends ARP requests to the specified IP addresses,
    and displays any responses that are received.

    arp-scan allows you to:

        * Send ARP packets to any number of destination hosts, using a
        configurable output bandwidth or packet rate.

              This is useful for system discovery, where you may need
              to scan large address spaces.

        * Construct the outgoing ARP packet in a flexible way.

              arp-scan gives control of all of the fields in the ARP
              packet and the fields in the Ethernet frame header.

        * Decode and display any returned packets.

              arp-scan will decode and display any received ARP packets
              and lookup the vendor using the MAC address.

        * Fingerprint IP hosts using the arp-fingerprint tool.
