arp-scan -l in python

[Ohood]

Hi All ,

I want to run an arp-scan from python script not from cmd line, therefore, I have write the code below but it does not show anything. Can you help please ?



import socket
from subprocess import call
call(["arp-scan -l"])

-------------------------------------------------------------
also, I change the call to be : (["arp","-scan", "-l"]) but still show nothing but when writing it in the cmd line it's run the scan

If you want to use subprocess to run the arp scan then you need to do it like this

Code: Select all

import subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen(" sudo arp-scan -l", stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
(output, err) = p.communicate()
status = p.wait()

print(output)
print(err)

were output contains the results of the scan and err contains any error messages
