Then use a tool designed for the job. You'll only get this message on a
system that's a DHCP client and currently trying to get a lease. I don't
think that you would ever get any utility from the code as it stands, so
the change is not going to affect you.
(Note that if you were to configure a system to listen on 0.0.0.0 in
order to use this message, you would then be arping for 0.0.0.0, which
would appear to defeat your purpose.)
Can I kindly suggest that you go find a bridge or a dam or some
gun-control law to go oppose for a few months? This random sniper
activity is pretty irritating. 8(
