ArpSpyX For Mac

Arp packets are an indicator of what machines are active on your network. ArpSpyX will passively sniff your network for ARP packets and display the IP and MAC address of the machine that generated the packet.

Possible uses of ArpSpyX include: ￭ Easily gather MAC Addresses of network machines remotely ￭ Quickly identify new clients on your wireless network ￭ Identify ARP Poisoning attacks by tracking multiple MAC Addresses for a single IP Address ￭ Create a text file containing all IP addresses on your network

ArpSpyX supports two methods of scanning. The first method is a passive mode which will only listen for traffic without sending any packets. The second method is Active and will send out arp who-has requests for every IP address on your subnet.

The passive method can be used for looking for ARP poisioning attacks or for stealth analysis. The active method is better for system administrators looking to gather details about their networks.

NOTE: ArpSpy can be used under the terms of the BSD license.
