Get Hardware (Mac) Address through Applescript
Hi All,
How can I get Hardware (Mac) Address using applescript. Please tell me how can I do it. I have searched in the dictionary but I found nothing there.
Why I need it, I have developed some tool for InDesign & Quark User. I want to add the mentioned module in my application, so that as user will run the tool it will first validate the Hardware address, and if it match then application will run otherwise it will show a piracy message.
Thanks
Rajeev

Then you don't have an active interface. You can't use ipconfig to query an interface that isn't up.
You need to decide how you want to deal with this - you won't know in advance what interfaces the user may have active. For this reason, relying on the MAC address is inherently problematic. You might be better off using the system's serial number (which is less likely to change anyway):
<pre class=command>set serialNum to do shell script "system_profiler SPHardwareDataType| awk -F: '/Serial/ {print $2}'"</pre>

Finding OLD MAC address through Router.
Sir,
I lost my laptop (Dell Inspiron 5521 15r) and only have its box which contains serial number 6CRC9W1 , order number 920181961 and etc but dont have MAC address. I asked dell about that but they are not helping me to get mac. Please tell me if there is any
way to get old mac addresses through router to which my laptop was connected. Thanks.You can't. There is no way to know what the MAC was.
The MAC is tied to the network adapter, not the Laptop, and hence not the Service Tag. Since the Laptop probably had a wired adapter and a wireless adapter,...there would have been two different MACs.
What good would it be even if you knew what it was? -
Nexus 3064 switch: Can't get MAC addresses through SNMP
Hello Everyone!
I'm seeing an issue in our Nexus 3064 switch where we can't get the MAC address table using SNMP. At the same time, I can see MAC addresses of all the ports from the switch command line (show mac address-table). I've verified that SNMP is enabled and I can fetch other switch information (such as VLANs) using SNMP.
I did an SNMP walk to get the mac (
snmpwalk -v2c -c <communityString>@<VlanID> <ManagementIP> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1), and it didnt return anything.
Could any of you please let me know what can be potentially wrong here? Really appreciate your help.
Thanks for your time!Greetings Vipins,
This could be caused by CSCto56055 "not getting any value for dot1dtpFdbTable objects", resolved in 5.0(3)U1(2) and later releases.
Kind Regards,

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?
How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
(to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

Getting the MAC address of the machine
Is there any method to get the MAC address of machine in java.?????????????
In our proxy server application we get the IP address of each client connected our proxy server.
But as the IP addresses are dynamic , we can't trace the location of the machine whenever any client does malicious downloads.Thanks It works .
The code is as follows .
It works when the machine is connected to internet while throws a null pointer exception when not connected .
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class MacAddress {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SocketException, UnknownHostException {
try {
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
* Get NetworkInterface for the current host and then read the
* hardware address.
NetworkInterface ni = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(address);
byte[] mac = ni.getHardwareAddress();
* Extract each array of mac address and convert it to hexa with the
* following format 08-00-27-DC-4A-9E.
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
System.out.format("%02X%s", mac, (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : "");
// System.out.print(mac);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SocketException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); -
How to get the MAC address of the additional 10G NIC with ILO command line
how to get the MAC address of the additional 10G NIC with ILO command line?
thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi Bruce,
Out from what I can find on this network card is it not possible to get the mac address without a OS. I would recommend you to get/burn a Linux/Ubuntu live CD/DVD and run a Ifconfig in there.
Hope it helps you.

Hello All,
I am trying to get the information of all the user's who connect to our Domain network by signing in using the domain account. For this I am using the Windows audit group policies ( I am not sure of there is any other way). I can see when the user tries
to login to the network there is a audit event created on the AD/DC server. I can see the Kerberos authentication and logon/logoff events in the audit events under event viewer.
However the info which is being populated in these events include :- Hostname, IP address, Username and so on... But I can't see the MAC address of the user machine/system. Is there any way I can
get the Mac address of the endpoint system as its one of the important criteria for our project.
Any inputs on this would be appreciated, incase if there is any other way other than group policies please suggest.
Thanks,
Kavish> include :- Hostname, IP address, Username and so on... But I can't see

If you use DHCP, you can query the DHCP server. There's no builtin
method to get the MAC address directly.

How to get the MAC address of a PXI in a dll
Hi,
I am looking for a way to get the MAC address of a PXI RT controller. I know that there is a VI to do this, but I am looking for a solution for a dll (C-Code).
I use the "Call library node" to call this dll and want to make sure that it is only used on a specific PXI.
Since the VI provides the functionality, I am wondering if it is also available to be called from C-Code?
Thank you,
Christian
Solved!

If it is available in LabVIEW it is probably available in CVI, which you could then build into a DLL (if there isn't one available already).

Is there any possible ways to get the MAC address?
Hi guys:
I am writing servlets on the server side. Is there any possible ways to get the MAC address when a HTTP request come in? Thank you very much for any helps.
all the best!It is usually impossible to get the MAC address of the maker of a HTTP request in any programming language or system.
At best, you can get the MAC of the closest intervening router, firewall, whatever.
Are you sure you mean the MAC address? MAC looks like this: 8:ab:f0:0:71:bb:90 (Ethernet), or 01-23-45-67-89-ab (Token Ring), etc, depending on your network type.
In contrast, an IP address looks like this: 209.249.116.195. If you want the IP address, check out the javadoc for HttpServletRequest and ServletRequest. Caveat: load balancers, web caches, proxy servers, etc will mask the "true" peer's address. Don't do anything silly like try to use the IP address for security or authentication. -

Getting the MAC address of the iPhone
Hi,
In order for an iPhone (or any other network device) to access or wi-fi network, it needs to be registered. I would like to make it so that they don't have to register it every time and to do that, I need the MAC address of the device. Users will be registering via a webpage using the browser on the phone. Is there any way in the midst of that process that I can query the iPhone for it's Mac address?
Thanks,
Rob Tanner
Linfield CollegeYou can get the MAC address for your iPhone at Settings > General > About > Wi-Fi address.
There is not a way to query the iPhone for the MAC address to be entered automatically in the space provided when registering the iPhone's MAC address via the webpage, but it can be written down in advance for manual entry of the address. -
