IEEE 802.3 Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet UDP broadcast and unicast sender
An IEEE 802.3 Wake-on-LAN (WoL) Magic Packet generator, subnet broadcast dispatcher, ARP neighbor importer, and hex frame inspector for Linux. A lightweight Linux alternative to NirSoft WakeMeOnLan and AquilaWakeOnLan for waking remote workstations, NAS appliances, and servers over local subnets.
Key features:
- Constructs standards-compliant 102-byte IEEE 802.3 Magic Packets (6x 0xFF synchronization stream followed by 16x 6-byte target MAC repetitions) with optional 4-byte or 6-byte SecureOn token support.
- Computes directed subnet broadcast addresses directly from Linux /proc/net/route and active network interface netmasks alongside 255.255.255.255 and unicast targets over UDP ports 9, 7, or custom ports.
- Imports live LAN neighbor MAC addresses from /proc/net/arp and inspects local /sys/class/net interfaces.
- Includes a byte-level Hex/ASCII Magic Packet frame inspector, persistent device wake profiles, and CSV/JSON dispatch audit exports.
