Wakupator 1.2.0

After a year of improvements, Wakupator is now smarter, more reliable, more secure and simpler to use!

New features 🚀

• Actively waits for the registered machine to shut down:
  Automatically sends ARP or NS to verify that the machine is shut down before starting to monitor traffic.
• Uses native Linux Netlink API to manage IPs:
  No longer requires the iproute2 package.
• No more sudo needed:
  No longer executes sudoed ip or sysctl commands to manage IPs.
• Spoof IP without port:
  Can spoof IPs without specifying port(s).
  Intended for use with custom systems—for example, a web view when accessing a web service that is shut down and spoofed by Wakupator. (Example coming soon)
• Assign names to clients:
  Clients can provide a name when registering, making it easier to identify machines in the logs.
• Logs more information:
  • Machine name
  • IP and port responsible for the startup
  • Shutdown and startup times
• Self-aware if IPv6 capable:
  Detects if the provided interface has a Link Local IPv6. If so, Wakupator can spoof and monitor IPv6.
