First ARP request packet is sent by specifying the source MAC address, source IP address and destination IP Address. The ARP reply packet contains the destination MAC address. This method also prevents the target host from sending arp packet to source host when the source host sends the first SYN packet during scanning process. From the ARP request packet that we have sent , target host will come to know about the MAC address of the source host."
