For a given MAC address we retrieve
Vendor details
Name of the company which registered the MAC addresses block, it’s street address and country code in ISO 3166 format.
Created & Updated dates
Dates when the MAC address block the given MAC address belongs to was registered and updated the last time.
Is it registered
Check if the MAC address belongs to any of the registered MAC blocks.
Is it valid
Check if the provided MAC address is syntactically correct.
Is it private
Check if the MAC address belongs to the privately registered block.
Block details
For the MAC block the MAC address belongs to, get Left and Right borders, total number of the MAC addresses in it, and assignment type.
Virtual Machine Detection new
If the MAC address is assigned to a Virtual Machine, output its Vendor Name (e.g. 'VMWare'), otherwise say 'Not detected'.
Possible applications new
Some MAC addresses and their ranges are reserved for specific use cases by their vendors. Such addresses typically indicate what higher-level protocol is encapsulated in a frame.
Wireshark notes new
For some specific OUIs or exact MAC addresses, Wireshark Database provides extra details which may help to recognize the MAC address application or indicate an actual vendor rather than the original assignment.
Transmission Type
Determine whether it's a Multicast or Unicast address.
Administration Type
Determine whether it's a Universally or Locally administered address.
