Duplicate IP Scanner Tool
Purpose of the Duplicate IP Scanner tool
The purpose of this tool is to
rapidly determine if any two or more devices are
sharing the same IPv4 address on the same subnet. If two
devices share the same IPv4 address packet routing
will not work correctly. Duplicate IP addresses are
usually automatically found by the operating systems during
the DHCP address assignment process. However, it is possible
for a duplicate IP address to be assigned from a
‘rogue’ or unauthorized DHCP server present on a subnet or
from a static IP address within the normal IP assignment
range of a DHCP portant: this tool uses ARP which is not routed
beyond your current subnet. If you need to find duplicates
on another subnet, you must move your computer to
that subnet.

About the Duplicate IP Scanner Tool
The Duplicate IP Scanner Tool scans your subnet (or a
range within your subnet) with ARP looking for duplicate IPv4 addresses
in use by two or more devices. Any duplicates found are shown
with their IPv4 address, MAC address, network interface
manufacturer name and hostname.
Important: to find duplicates on another
subnet, you must connect your computer to
that tool is fully
functional in the demo version. Do not
purchase NetScanTools Pro thinking the full
version will do more. The scanning is
limited to your current subnet. You have to
change your IP and subnet to scan other
subnets.

How the Duplicate IP Scanner works
The tool checks every IPv4 address in the range specified and looks for two or more devices using the same IP address.
It scans the IPv4 devices with ARP packets and collects the responses.
Any responses from different devices using the same IPv4 address are noted and displayed.
Displays Duplicate IP Addresses along with the MAC Addresses of the Duplicates.
Shows all duplicates along with the IPv4 address, MAC of each device, the manufacturer of each remote device’s network interface and the hostname for each IP address (optional).

What is ARP?
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol
which associates an IPv4 address with a MAC (Media Access
Control) address (xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx) over an ethernet network
segment. ARP is normally not routed beyond a network segment.
This tool uses
WinPcap
to generate ARP packets. See also the
ARP Cache tool for ARP cache
manipulation and the ARP
Ping tool for testing a single device on your LAN.

Straw poll – Wikipedia
A straw poll, straw vote, or straw ballot is an ad hoc or unofficial vote. It is used to show the popular opinion on a certain matter, and can be used to help politicians know the majority opinion and help them decide what to say in order to gain votes.
Straw polls provide dialogue among movements within large groups. [1][2] Impromptu straw polls often are taken to see if there is enough support for an idea to devote more meeting time to it, and (when not a secret ballot) for the attendees to see who is on which side of a question. However, in meetings subject to Robert’s Rules of Order, motions to take straw polls are not allowed. [3]
Among political bodies, straw polls often are scheduled for events at which many people interested in the polling question can be expected to vote. Sometimes polls conducted without ordinary voting controls in place (i. e., on an honor system, such as in online polls) are also called “straw polls”.
The idiom may allude to a straw (thin plant stalk) held up to see in what direction the wind blows, in this case, the wind of group opinion. [4][5][6]
United States politics[edit]
A formal straw poll is common in American political caucuses. Such straw polls can be taken before selecting delegates and voting on resolutions. The results of straw polls are taken by the media to influence delegates in caucus later (as well as delegates to political conventions), and thus serve as important precursors. Straw polls are also scheduled informally by other organizations interested in the U. S. presidential election.
Well-known American straw polls include the Ames Straw Poll and the Texas Straw Poll, both conducted on behalf of their respective state Republican Party organizations. Being run by private organizations, they are not subject to public oversight or verifiability. However, they provide important interactive dialogue among movements within large groups, reflecting trends like organization and motivation. [1][2]
The Ames straw poll achieved a reputation as a meaningful straw poll during the presidential campaign because of its large voter turnout and relatively high media recognition, as well as Iowa’s being the first state to vote in caucuses before the primaries. In 2015 the Iowa Republican Party voted to abolish the poll, after a majority of presidential candidates declined to participate. The Iowa State Fair Straw Polls for both the Republican and Democratic races were conducted at the Iowa State Fair instead.
The U. territory of Guam holds a presidential straw poll during every presidential election, despite the island’s having no official say in the election.
Other types of polls[edit]
Straw polls are contrasted with opinion polls, usually conducted by telephone and based on samples of the voting public. Straw polls can also be contrasted with honor-system polls (such as online polls), in which ordinary voting controls are absent. In an ordinary event-based straw poll, controls common to elections are enforced: voting twice is prohibited; polls are not open for inordinately long periods of time; interim results are not publicized before polls close; etc. Honor-system polls may be conducted wholly online, conducted at one location over a period of months, conducted with interim results publicized, or even conducted with explicit permission to vote multiple times.
The meaning of results from the varying poll types is disputed. Opinion polls are generally conducted with statistical selection controls in place and are thus called “scientific”, while straw polls and honor-system polls are conducted among self-selected populations and are called “unscientific”. However, as predictors of poll results among larger populations (i. e., elections), each method has known flaws.
A margin of error is intrinsic in any subset polling method, and is a mathematical function of the difference in size between the subset and the larger population; sampling error is constant across different poll methods with the same sample sizes. Selection bias, nonresponse bias, or coverage bias occurs when the conditions for subset polling significantly differ from the conditions for the larger poll or election; event-based straw polls, where registration often closely mirrors voter registration, suffer less from nonresponse bias than opinion polls, where inclusion generally means owning a landline phone, being the party that answers the phone, being willing to answer the poll questions, and being a “likely voter” based on pollster criteria. Response bias occurs when respondents do not indicate their true beliefs, such as in bias due to intentional manipulation by respondents, haste, social pressure, or confusion; such biases may be present in any polling situation. Wording of questions may also inject bias, although this is more likely in a telephone setting than in an event-based ballot setting.
By relying on identity information, such as that publicly traceable to telephone numbers or voter registration addresses and that voluntarily provided by respondents such as age and gender, polls can be made more scientific. Straw polls may be improved by: asking identity questions, tracing group-based trends, and publishing statistical studies of the data. Opinion polls may be improved by more closely mirroring the larger poll or election anticipated, such as in wording of questions and inclusion procedure. Honor-system polls may be improved by adding ordinary voting controls; for example, online polls may rely on established social-networking and identity providers for verification to minimize multiple voting.
