How to Use a MAC Address Lookup

A MAC address is a series of digits that uniquely identify a device. MAC addresses are used by most networking protocols, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi.

MAC address lookup is useful for finding out who is connecting to your network. It can also be used to filter out strangers from accessing your network while allowing the people you want in.

The MAC address can be found on the hardware of the router or the computer you're connecting to. It's usually located in the field "HWaddr".

There are several tools available to find out the MAC address of a specific device or computer. One of these is Nmap, which can scan the entire network and show you all of its MAC addresses.

Another option is to use a sniffer. There are several sniffers on the market that can be used to get this information, such as Angry IP Scanner and Advanced IP Scanner.

You can also look up your MAC address using the 'network' command in Windows. This will give you your MAC address, and the IP address that it's assigned to.

A MAC address is a 48-bit (24 character) identifier, which includes an organization-specific unique identifier known as OUI and an individual identifier. The first two octets of the MAC address are the OUI and the next octet is the individual identifier.

In addition to the OUI, a MAC address may contain an extension identifier. These identifiers are known as EUI-48 or EUI-64, and are managed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
