Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package arpalert, which is
part of the net section, and maintained by Jan Wagner
<waja at cyconet.org>. 

This package contains : Monitor ARP changes in ethernet networks.

This package provides the arpalert daemon.

It listens on a network interface (without using 'promiscuous' mode) and
catches all conversations of MAC address to IP request.
It then compares the mac addresses it detected with a pre-configured list of
authorized MAC addresses. If the MAC is not in list, arpalert launches a
pre-defined user script with the MAC address and IP address as parameters.
This software can run in daemon mode; it's very fast (low CPU and memory
consumption).
It responds at signal SIGHUP (configuration reload) and at signals SIGTERM,
SIGINT, SIGQUIT and SIGABRT (arpalert stops itself)
