is it possible to get the MAC address for machine using nmap - nmap
I have a list of remote machines in a text files. Can I know their MAC addresses using nmap ?
If you're using nmap, MAC addresses are only available if you're on the same network segment as the target. Newer versions of nmap will only show the MAC address to you if you're running as root.
i.e.:
sudo nmap -sP -n 192.168.0.0/24
Use snmp-interfaces.nse nmap script (written in lua) to get the MAC address of remote machine like this:
nmap -sU -p 161 -T4 -d -v -n -Pn --script snmp-interfaces 80.234.33.182
Completed NSE at 13:25, 2.69s elapsed
Nmap scan report for 80.234.33.182
Host is up, received user-set (0.078s latency).

In current releases of nmap you can use:
sudo nmap -sn 192.168.0.*
This will print the MAC addresses of all available hosts. Of course provide your own network, subnet and host id's.
Further explanation can be found here.
Some scripts give you what you're looking for. If the nodes are running Samba or Windows, nbstat.nse will show you the MAC address and vendor.
sudo nmap -sU -script=nbstat.nse -p137 --open 172.192.10.0/23 -oX 172.192.10.0.xml | grep MAC * | awk -F";" {'print $4'}
if $ ping -c 1 192.168.x.x
returns
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time ###ms
then you could possibly return the MAC address with arping, but ARP only works on your local network, not across the internet.
$ arping -c 1 192.168.x.x
ARPING 192.168.x.x from 192.168.x.x wlan0
Unicast reply from 192.168.x.x [AA:BB:CC:##:##:##] 192.772ms
Sent 1 probes (1 broadcast(s))
Received 1 response(s)
finally you could use the AA:BB:CC with the colons removed to identify a device from its vendor ID, for example.
$ grep -i '709E29' /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-mac-prefixes
709E29 Sony Interactive Entertainment
nmap can discover the MAC address of a remote target only if
the target is on the same link as the machine nmap runs on, or
the target leaks this information through SNMP, NetBIOS etc.
Another possibility comes with IPv6 if the target uses EUI-64 identifiers, then the MAC address can be deduced from the IP address.
Apart from the above possibilities, there is no reliable way to obtain the MAC address of a remote target with network scanning techniques.
Yes, remember using root account.

qq#peliosis:~$ sudo nmap -sP -n xxx.xxx.xxx

I'm not cool enough to be able to comment on a post.
so I guess I need to make a new post.
However the above recommendation of
"sudo nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/24"
is the best quickest method to get the all the MACs for the IPs on your
local network/vlan/subnet
What the OP doesnt mention, is the only way to get the MAC address
this way, you MUST use sudo(or other super user privs i.e. windows admin)
the command
nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/24 will discover hosts on your network, however will not return the MACs as you are not in SU mode of operation.
Just the standard scan will return the MAC.
nmap -sS target
With the recent version of nmap 6.40, it will automatically show you the MAC address. example:
nmap 192.168.0.1-255
this command will scan your network from 192.168.0.1 to 255 and will display the hosts with their MAC address on your network.
in case you want to display the mac address for a single client, use this command make sure you are on root or use "sudo"
sudo nmap -Pn 192.168.0.1
this command will display the host MAC address and the open ports.
hope that is helpful.
Not using nmap... but this is an alternative...
arp -n|grep -i B0:D3:93|awk '{print $1}'

Nmap not showing MAC address & does not seem to be doing ARP ping scans
I am following a course online, in the course an Nmap scan is undertaken with the following results: . As you can see, the second from bottom line is MAC Address: DE:AD:00:00:BE:EF and the SENT and RCVD lines show an ARP request and an ARP reply. However, when I do this I do not see the MAC Address, nor do I see the ARP lines. I see instead am ICMP response, here is a screenshot from my result: I am doing the nmap with sudo privileges so I'm not sure why I am not seeing the MAC address. Thanks for any help
sudo nmap 192.168.43.109 -sn -oA host -PE --reason This command will only show the MAC address if your machine and the target machine are on the same network.
Down hosts are shown up when scanned all 256 hosts in aggregate
When I used nmap -sP IP/24 -v, nmap scanned for around 5 minutes. Then it reported that all 256 hosts are up. But when I used nmap -sP * .* .*.253 -v it said the host wasn't up. What's going on here?
You can use nmap -sO -v IP/24. -sO means IP protocol scan. You can also see which machines are open in this scan.
Nmap enum-shares not working
I am trying to list a shared folder I have on the desktop of a virtual machine. with these commands: nmap -sU -sS --script smb-enum-shares.nse -p U:137,T:139 10.10.10.115 nmap --script smb-enum-shares.nse -p445 10.10.10.115 The combined output is : Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.115 Host is up (0.00s latency). PORT STATE SERVICE 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 137/udp open netbios-ns MAC Address: 08:00:27:31:DB:FC (Oracle VirtualBox virtual NIC) This is not the output I am supposed to get referring to this : https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/smb-enum-shares.html Why is it not listing the shared folder on the desktop ? I have set maximum permission to everyone for the folder. Thank you ! Guillaume
Seems like a bug in nmap https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/704 You can try -d flag to run nmap in debug mode. I see the "SMB: Login as \guest failed (NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED)" error. But other utilites (e.g. softperfect network scanner) works fine without specific permisions on remote machine.
See documentation: smb-enum-shares. Use function add_account in smbauth module
check distribution version linux with ip
For a quiz I must fill in the following question: Which distribution of Linux is on the server. They give me only a ip adress "37.59.41.190". How can I check this external?
Use nmap command to find Operating System details, it's not 100% accurate, though, nmap -O <ip address> nmap runs different OS fingerprint check techniques.
Raspberry PI IP address
I have a Raspberry PI and a Wi-Pi wireless dongle. I want to connect the PI to the computer using Remote Desktop Connection via wireless. But I'm not sure how to get the IP of the Raspberry (without having access to the router), that I need to connect to it. Now I get into router's page and see what IP it assigned to the pi, and use it to connect But my goal is to be able to use it on the "field", using the phone's "internet sharing" option, to connect the PI and laptop to it, and then connect to pi from the laptop. How can I get the IP address that the phone gave to the PI?
You could make your Raspberry Pi speak its IP-address, like described here.
First, install the espeak package:
$ sudo apt-get install espeak
Then, create a init script:
$ sudo vi /etc/init.d/sayIPbs
Paste the following content into it:
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/sayIPbs
## Some things that run always
# Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system
case "$1" in start)
echo "Starting script sayIPbs "
sleep 5
public=`curl ifconfig.me`
private=`hostname -I`
string="public address is $public and private address is $private"
echo $string | espeak -s 120 -v en-uk
sleep 2
echo $string | espeak -s 120 -v en-uk
;; stop)
echo "Stopping script sayIPbs"
;; *)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/sayIPbs {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;esac
exit 0
Finally, issue these commands:
$ cd /etc/init.d
$ sudo chmod a+x sayIPbs
$ sudo update-rc.d -f sayIPbs defaults
$ sudo reboot
Plug in some headphones and listen to the ip address which will be read out at the end of the boot process.
You should configure your raspy to have always the same ip address. Try to edit your interfaces.man file with nano or cat command with your own parameters as shown below. Remember to reboot after editing: pi#raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces.man auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.69 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.67 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wpa-passphrase password wpa-ssid myssid
I found that I can use nmap to "scan" the network for connected devices, and it will give me a list of devices and their assigned IP. And since there's max 3 devices connected, the list is short and easy to read. nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24
Using just a button and an LED, I have written a script that gets the IP address of the Raspberry pi, and then blinks the LED repeatedly to show the IP address of the Raspberry Pi. I just count the blinks, note them down on paper, and then I have the IP address. It seems silly, but works with Just 2 I/O pins.
Use static IP on you pi by editing on /etc/network/interfaces. but, on the other way, you can also install network scanner on your phone.
Bit late answer, but I had similar issue intitially. Solved my problem in the following way: Use the Unix terminal commands to identify the IP and the MAC address of wi-fi or ethernet port (ifconfig) set up your router to always allocate a address to these respective network connections. use range outside what would be automatically generated with DHCP Whenever you connect that raspberry Pi to your network it will automatically be allocated that address. I also put sticker on the pi with the mac and IP address. Especially useful if you are running it without screen and keyboard.
