brew install arp-scan

“Install arp-scan with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read arp-scan --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update arp-scan and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run arp-scan on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs arp-scan there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install arp-scan first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install arp-scan for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
