send magic packet from windows with one click

To send a Magic Packet from a Windows machine with a single click, you can create a PowerShell script or use a tool that provides a simple interface for sending Wake-on-LAN (WoL) packets. Here are a couple of approaches:

1. PowerShell Script:

   • Open a text editor and create a new file with a .ps1 extension.
   • Add the following code to the script file:

     powershellCopy code
     $macAddress = '00-11-22-33-44-55'  # Replace with the target device's MAC address
     
     $broadcastAddress = '255.255.255.255'  # Replace with the broadcast address of your network
     
     
     
     $macBytes = $macAddress -split '-' | ForEach-Object { [byte]('0x' + $_) }
     
     $magicPacket = [byte[]] (,0xFF * 6 + ($macBytes * 16))
     
     
     
     $udpClient = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient
     
     $udpClient.Connect($broadcastAddress, 9)
     
     $udpClient.Send($magicPacket, $magicPacket.Length)
     
     $udpClient.Close()
     
     

   • Replace the $macAddress variable with the MAC address of the target device in the format 00-11-22-33-44-55.
   • Save the file.

2. WoL Tool:

   • Download a Wake-on-LAN tool that provides a simple interface for sending Magic Packets. One popular tool is "Wake On Lan Tool 2" (WOL2) available at http://www.gammadyne.com/wol.htm.
   • Install and launch the tool.
   • Enter the MAC address of the target device in the provided field.
   • Click the "Send" or "Wake" button to send the Magic Packet.

Remember that sending a Magic Packet requires that the target device's network interface card (NIC) supports Wake-on-LAN and is configured accordingly in its BIOS settings.

With either approach, you can create a shortcut to the PowerShell script or the Wake-on-LAN tool and place it on your desktop or a convenient location for easy access. Clicking the shortcut will initiate the sending of the Magic Packet to wake up the target device.
