Submit to SlashdotI just finished writing an article yesterday on my hacker not cracker blog about the mysterious yet ubiquitous Wake on LAN function featured in many motherboards and network interface cards. In it, I mentioned the basics of creating a “magic packet.” As I pointed out, a magic packet is data consisting of “FF FF FF FF FF FF” followed by 16 repetitions of the listening network device’s MAC address. I also revealed that I use a PHP script to facilitate in generating that packet. Before I modified the PHP script, I used a simple little freeware program released by Depicus.
The Depicus website provides a similar background on WOL and magic packet generating tools supported by a wide variety of platforms and implementations. If you’re interested in using Wake-on-LAN, Depicus is another great starting point for tools necessary to get the most out of your setup.
