Can anyone help: Workflow to lookup MAC Addresses????

[ChrisHumphreys]

Good Morning Alfred App Dev's,

 

I look up MAC addresses hundreds of times a week at work. Can anyone help/create me a workflow where I can quickly lookup the Mac address to see what manufacture router a customer has.

 

Kind Regards,

I'm confused... you're looking for a workflow to lookup the mac address of the router that the user is connected to?

He's looking for a workflow that will tell him the manufacturer of a device based on the MAC address, e.g., 'b8:f6:b1:00:00:00' => 'Apple'.

First you need a table from the likes of : IEEE Standards Association

At the bottom is a text file: "Download a copy of the MA-L Public Listing (Updated daily)"

 

Then the workflow just needs the first six characters of the MAC to grab the Manufacturer.

 

Basically this requires some parsing in your preferred language ... I will try to pump one out this weekend with BIN/BASH because that's all I know, but perhaps someone else might grab this and up one faster than me.

DOWNLOAD BETA 1 of the workflow

 

Once installed simply type "mac" with a space, then the MAC number.

 

I am parsing out all the crap to work with the included "oui.txt" file and only include the first 6 digits/characters.

As far as I am aware, the two most common separators are ":" and "-" for MACs ... let me know if others are common.

 

For example:

 

typing 'mac 00-00-00' will output "XEROX CORPORATION"

typing 'mac 00:00:00' will output "XEROX CORPORATION"

typing 'mac 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00' will output "XEROX CORPORATION"

 

Hitting SHIFT+ENTER will copy the manufacturer to the clipboard

Hitting CTRL+ENTER will open "http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/public.html" in your default browser so that you can obtain the most recent 'oui.txt' file if it ever becomes out of date.

I updated the link to 'DOWNLOAD BETA 1' in the post above [#4]

Has this workflow been updated recently? The link to it listed above is dead. I'd love to try/use it!

The page @RodgerWW linked to has a CSV list of MAC address allocations. I've converted that to an XLSX file.

 

Grab that file and save it somewhere safe, then install the I Sheet You Not workflow, which you can use to generate a workflow for you.

 

In the generated workflow, set START_ROW to 2 and TITLE_COL to 2 in the workflow configuration sheet, and assign a keyword and descriptions of your choice.

Hi Deanishe,

 

I am a little confused on where / how to force Alfred wf to look at a specific document.

 

Can you advise?

I have created a new wf via ISYN: New.......

 

Thanks,
