The Wakeup On LAN feature allows remote computer
setup, software downloading and installation, file
updates, and asset tracking after hours and on
weekends when LAN traffic is at a minimum without
having to personally go back to your business to turn
on the targeted PCs or initiate the processes.?

It is now possible to cause certain PC configurations
to 'Wake Up' (power on) when they receive a special
packet.
This "Magic packet" is generated using the IP, Subnet
and MAC address of the remote computer. By sending
this special packet to a dormant computer that remote
computer can be caused to "Wake Up" (Boot itself up).
This feature can be disabled in the BIOS or in the
Network card settings.

The only drawback to this is that one has to know the
remote computer's IP, subnet and MAC address.
Nightshift's Network tools wil provide you with the
right tools to detect the MAC and the IP address.

After the boot process completed you can detect and
identify open ports, trace the route to the machine,
etc.
