UDP Wake-On-Lan (WOL)
Description
This module will turn on a remote machine with a network card that supports wake-on-lan (or MagicPacket). In order to use this, you must know the machine's MAC address in advance. The current default MAC address is just an example of how your input should look like. The password field is optional. If present, it should be in this hex format: 001122334455, which is translated to "0x001122334455" in binary. Note that this should be either 4 or 6 bytes long.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
