| Summary : Look up the vendor for a MAC
|
Description :
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) assigns an
Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) to manufacturers of network
interfaces. Each interface has a Media Access Control (MAC) address of six
bytes. The first three bytes are the OUI.
This module allows you to take a MAC address and turn it into the OUI and
vendor information. You can, for instance, scan a network, collect MAC
addresses, and turn those addresses into vendors. With vendor information,
you can often guess at what what you are looking at (_e.g._ an Apple
product).
You can use this as a module as its individual functions, or call it as a
script with a list of MAC addresses as arguments. The module can figure it
out.
The IEEE moves the location of its OUI file. If they do that again, you can
set the \'NET_MAC_VENDOR_OUI_URL\' environment variable to get the new URL
without updating the code.
Here are some of the old URLs, which also flip-flop schemes:
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
https://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt
http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt
There are older copies of the OUI file in the GitHub repository.
These files are large (about 4MB), so you might want to cache a copy.
A different source of information is linuxnet.ca that publishes sanitized
and compressed versions of the list, such as:
http://linuxnet.ca/ieee/oui.txt.bz2
The module can read and decompress compressed versions (as long as the url
reflects the compression type in the filename as the linuxnet.ca links do).
