使用node.js的ARP协议

Question

I'am wondering if it's possible to implement a ARP request using Node.js and the Raw Socket module founded here

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It seems that it is possible, but it won't be easy, tough.

You can use raw-socket and check the modules that are using it to mimic behaviour, like net-ping , which is no more than ICMP, a protocol at the level 3 in the OSI stack.

EDIT:

ARP is at the level 2 (data link layer) of the OSI model, but that doesn't matter since with raw sockets you can do it perfectly :)

Answer 2

Now you can use arpjs on node, to send ARP requests as you wish.

Try it here:
