Description:

Arping is a util to find out it a specific IP address on the LAN is
'taken' and what MAC address owns it. Sure, you *could* just use
'ping' to find out if it's taken and even if the computer blocks ping
(and everything else) you still get an entry in your ARP cache. But
what if you aren't on a routable net? Or the host blocks ping (all
ICMP even)? Then you're screwed. Or you use arping.
