Wake-on-LAN Packet Generator
The browser cannot send the packet itself (no raw sockets). Use the commands on a device in the same network. The target must have WoL enabled in BIOS/UEFI.
How Wake-on-LAN works
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) wakes a powered-off machine over the network. A "magic packet" is sent: 6 times 0xFF followed by the MAC address repeated 16 times – 102 bytes in total. The generator shows this packet and provides ready-made commands.
- Requirement: WoL must be enabled in the target's BIOS/UEFI and network driver.
- Sending: Not possible from the browser – use
wakeonlan/etherwake(Linux) or the PowerShell snippet from the same LAN. - Over the internet: only with port forwarding (UDP 9) or via a VPN into your home network.
