Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

arpscan

Simple arp-scan wrapper module.

arp-scan sends ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) queries to the specified targets, and displays any responses that are received. It allows any part of the outgoing ARP packets to be changed, allowing the behavior of targets to non-standard ARP packets to be examined. The IP address and hardware address of received packets are displayed, together with the vendor details. These details are obtained from the IEEE OUI and IAB listings, plus a few manual entries. It includes arp-fingerprint, which allows a system to be fingerprinted based on how it responds to non-standard ARP packets.

Tested in Mac OSX 10.9.5 and Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy).

Getting Started

First you need to install arp-scan if is not already installed.

On Debian:

sudo apt-get install arp-scan

In macOS it will use arp.

Install the module with: npm install arpscan

If you get this error when running this module, you might have to sudo the command:

pcap_lookupdev: no suitable device found

Documentation

Usage: arpscan [options]

Options:

  -h, --help                   output usage information
  -V, --version                output the version number
  -C, --check-arpscan          Test to see if arp-scan is installed
  -i, --interface [interface]  Interface to scan
  -v, --verbose                Verbose mode

To use the module from your program:

const arpScanner = require('arpscan');

arpScanner(onResult, options);

function onResult(err, data){
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log(data);
}

To use the module from your program with promises:

var arpScanner = require('arpscan/promise');

arpScanner(options)
    .then(onResult)
    .catch(onError);

function onResult(data) {
    console.log(data);
}

function onError(err) {
    throw err;
}

Options

| Name   | Type | Description | Default | | ------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | command | String   | The command that's used to scan network via ARP. | 'arp-scan'  | | args   | String[] | The args sent to the command.                    | [ '-l' ] | | interface | String | The interface that sends the ARP packet.  | 'wlan0' | | parser | Function | A function called to parse the gathered data.   | parse     | | sudo   | Boolean | A flag indicating if the command is called via sudo. | false |

The output should be something similar to:

[ { ip: '192.168.1.1',
    mac: 'AC:CF:23:31:9B:FC',
    vendor: 'Cisco-Linksys, LLC',
    timestamp: 1427686747854 },
  { ip: '192.168.1.132',
    mac: 'AC:CF:23:3F:9B:33',
    vendor: 'Raspberry Pi Foundation',
    timestamp: 1427686747854 },
  { ip: '192.168.1.140',
    mac: 'b8:e9:37:11:d5:5c',
    vendor: 'Sonos, Inc.',
    timestamp: 1427686747854 },
  { ip: '192.168.1.143',
    mac: '00:19:93:68:65:53',
    vendor: 'Apple',
    timestamp: 1427686747854 },
  { ip: '192.168.1.148',
    mac: 'AC:FC:23:3F:9B:23',
    vendor: 'Hi-flying electronics technology Co.,Ltd (DUP: 2)',
    timestamp: 1427686747854 } ]

The module also provides a cli interface:

$ arpscan

Errors

If arpscan fails, try to run the command manually:

$ arp-scan -l

You might get an error similar to this:

WARNING: Could not obtain IP address for interface fw0. Using 0.0.0.0 for the source address, which is probably not what you want. Either configure fw0 with an IP address, or manually specify the address with the --arpspa option. Interface: fw0, datalink type: APPLE_IP_OVER_IEEE1394 (Apple IP-over-IEEE 1394) WARNING: Unsupported datalink type ERROR: Could not obtain interface IP address and netmask ERROR: pcap_lookupnet: fw0: no IPv4 address assigned

You might want to specify which interface to use:

$ arp-scan -interface en0 --localnet

  • Parse signature metadata
  • Handle arp-scan not available in machine!
