README for arpsend This is arpsend. This utility is intended to be used by a network administrator for diagnostic purposes. Because it allows you to construct packets which could interfere with the normal operation of devices on the network, care must be taken in how this software is used. This software was created by the Network Systems Group at Princeton University's Office of Information Technology, networking at princeton dot edu. It was written by Irwin Tillman. It is available from: http://www.net.princeton.edu/software/arpsend/ This version runs on Solaris 9 and 10 on SPARC, compiled with gcc. It has not been ported to any other platform at this time. This version supports only Ethernet interfaces, not FDDI. It was intended for our use at Princeton University, so was written to operate on the platform(s) we use, with the features we need. As others have asked for the software, we've made it generally available, however, we do not have the resources available to port it to additional platforms or add features. See the file INSTALL.arpsend for installation instructions. Generic building and installation instructions are in INSTALL. The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to the product. The product is free, however, it includes code that was published in other programs; those parts are subject to copyright and certain restrictions. See the file COPYING for specifics.
