Security and Networking / Wake On Lan (wol) Magic Packet
« on: February 26, 2010, 12:04:53 pm »Quote from: clofland
Anyone know how to send a WOL Magic Packet from a Zaurus?
To answer my own question (because I hate it when I find questions with no answers).
This works:

import struct, socket
def WakeOnLan(ethernet_address):
# Construct a six-byte hardware address
addr_byte = ethernet_address.split(':')
hw_addr = struct.pack('BBBBBB', int(addr_byte[0], 16),
int(addr_byte[1], 16),
int(addr_byte[2], 16),
int(addr_byte[3], 16),
int(addr_byte[4], 16),
int(addr_byte[5], 16))
# Build the Wake-On-LAN "Magic Packet"...
msg = '\xff' * 6 + hw_addr * 16
# ...and send it to the broadcast address using UDP
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
s.sendto(msg, ('<broadcast>', 9))
s.close()
# Example use
WakeOnLan('0:3:93:81:68:b2')
As long as you have python installed, this works great. Just replace the MAC after the last line with the one you want to wake up.
Very nice. Now I can shut all of the computers in my house off (or put them to sleep) and use my Z to turn them on when I need to access them.
