Arping can be used to find out if a specific IP address on the LAN
|
|
is 'taken' and what MAC address owns it. Sure, you *could* just
|
|
use 'ping' to find out if it's taken and even if the computer blocks
|
|
ping (and everything else) you still get an entry in your ARP cache.
|
|
But what if you aren't on a routable net? Or the host blocks ping
|
|
(all ICMP even)? Then you're out of luck. Or you use arping.
