Building a Transport Protocol on ARP
The other day I was sick and bored. With nothing better to do, I spent a day building ArpChat, a slightly-cursed chat app entirely running on ARP.

Lmk if I can clarify anything. Reading the arpchat net code might also be fun :)

Arpchat – Text your friends on the same network using just ARP
I love (ab)using protocols that are built-in to most OS'. I wrote a dumb fake samba share that let people see messages in Finder.app/Explorer.exe/Gnome/KDE since I couldn't find a cross-platform gui or cli messaging system that didn't require installing special client software. (even netcat invocations were not working when trying on our local network, and had OS-specific flag differences if we wanted to do broadcast).
You see the samba share message in your file browser, click it and can edit the filenames to update a 3-line "bulletin board".
