Software to Generate False ARP Requests?

Edit:开发者_开发知识库 Answered on serverfault. Thanks!

A product I'm testing appears to freak out when it receives an ARP request with a Sender IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is not an ARP probe, as the request is addressed to my module, and the customer's system sends the request just before it starts using its own valid IP address, which is different than my module's IP address. The problem is recreating that here in the lab rather than having to travel to the customer's site.

Is there software I can use to generate an ARP request from a fake address? This is similar to, but not quite the same as, ARP spoofing, since I'm trying to fake the request and not the reply. Do any of the spoofing tools have this functionality? Or is there a way to force Windows or Linux to send an ARP probe?

You can use Python2 to do that job. That's really quite simple task. You will need root privileges to open RAW sockets and some little knowledge with Python.

import socket
import struct

#Packet structure explanation:
#destmac = 0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff
#sourcemac = 0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55
#etherflags = 0x0806,0x0001,0x0800
#arpflags = 0x6,0x4,0x0001
#sourcemac = 0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55
#sourceip = 0xc0,0xa8,0x2b,0x7a
#targmac = 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00
#targip = 0xc0,0xa8,0x2b,0x0c

packet = struct.pack('!12B3H2BH10B10B', 0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff, 0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55, 0x0806,0x0001,0x0800, 0x6,0x4,0x0001 ,0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55, 0xc0,0xa8,0x2b,0x7a, 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00, 0xc0,0xa8,0x2b,0x0c)

sock = socket.socket(socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW)
sock.bind(('eth0', 6)) # 6 its protocol number
sock.send(packet)
sock.close()
