Re: Using ARP to map a network

I am also searching for a similar tool or perl script, which can do a RARP to find IP addresses. Currently I am doing this on WLAN. I am able to sniff MAC addresses of different WLAN clients and Access Points. All I have is a list of MAC addrresses. From here, I want to map the network. I am tired of googled it. Some one please help...!
