Using tcpdump to analyse arp who-has requests on internal network

Couldn't really tell you how useful this is, but it's interesting anyway.

Specifically, the article over at everythingsysadmin.com shows how you can use tcpdump to analyse what's happening over a network and potentially suss out any infected machines making too many arp who-has requests..

tcpdump -l -n arp | egrep 'arp who-has' | head -100 | awk '{ print $NF }' |sort | uniq -c | sort -n
