* Package name : libnet-mac-vendor-perl Version : 1.18 Upstream Author : Name <someb...@example.org> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/NetPacket/ * License : (GPL) Programming Lang: (Perl,) Description : look up the network interface vendor by MAC The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) assigns an Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) to manufacturers of network interfaces. Each interface has a Media Access Control (MAC) address of six bytes. The first three bytes are the OUI. . This module allows you to take a MAC address and turn it into the OUI and vendor information. You can, for instance, scan a network, collect MAC addresses, and turn those addresses into vendors. With vendor information, you can often guess at what you are looking at (e.g. an Apple product). . You can use this as a module as its individual functions, or call it as a script with a list of MAC addresses as arguments. The module can figure it out. . -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) -- Benoit Mortier CEO OpenSides "logiciels libres pour entreprises" : http://www.opensides.be/ Contributor to Gosa Project : http://gosa-project.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
