So for other folks out there like me who obviously can't read RFCs, the answer is "yes". :) -C On Jun 16, 2010, at 3:57 51PM, Chris Woodfield wrote: > OK, this sounds Really Wacky (or, Really Hacky if you're into puns) but > there's a reason for it, I swear... > > Will typical OSS UNIX kernels (Linux, BSD, MacOS X, etc) reply to a crafted > ARP request that, instead of having FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as its destination MAC > address, is instead sent to the already-known unicast MAC address of the > host? > > Next, what would be your utility of choice for crafting such a packet?
