ARP Sniffer

Introduction

ARP Sniffer is a Python script that allows users to discover IP and MAC addresses within a local network using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) broadcasting.

Features

• Discovers IP and MAC addresses within a local network.
• Allows users to specify IP and MAC addresses to be discovered.
• Customizable timeout duration for ARP requests.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Scapy library (install via pip install scapy)

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/LeatherFire/ARPProject.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ARPProject

3. Run the script:

   python arp_sniffer.py -i <IP_ADDRESS> -m <MAC_ADDRESS> -t <TIMEOUT>

   Replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the target IP address, <MAC_ADDRESS> with the target MAC address, and <TIMEOUT> with the desired timeout duration (in seconds).

Options

• -i, --ipadress: Specify the IP address to be discovered.
• -m, --macadress: Specify the MAC address to be discovered.
• -t, --timeout: Set the timeout duration for ARP requests (default is 1 second).

Example

python arp_sniffer.py -i 192.168.1.1 -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 -t 2
