Simple arp-scan utility
npm install arpscanSimple [arp-scan][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).
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
`
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:
`javascript
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:
`javascript
var arpScanner = require('arpscan/promise');
arpScanner(options)
.then(onResult)
.catch(onError);
function onResult(data) {
console.log(data);
}
function onError(err) {
throw err;
}

The module also provides a cli interface:`
$ arpscan
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.

You might want to specify which interface to use:
