Jul 16, 2015  Tools Required For Attacking On Someone Through MAC address. First What is mac address? Mac address is unique identity of computer. MAC address hacking is posible as i have experienced hacking a Mikrotik OS through MAC Address. All you need to be in LAN OR you need his IP, AnD then You Need Armitage Or Metasploit Fired. Ok let us start.

How to find an IP address when you have the MAC address of the device.

Type 'arp -a' in the command prompt. This lists a number of MAC addresses with the associated IP addresses. Since you have the MAC address, scroll down the list to find the associated IP address. The MAC address is shown in the 'Physical Address' column with the IP address in the 'Internet Address' column. An example of a table record is in Step 4. Literally, hacking is accessing something or somebody in internet without their permission or interest. While, speaking in summary, hacking is very easy job, it is like instead of using front door, finding the hidden door of a house and hijacking the precious things. Among all the hacking, hacking via IP address. This is very tough steps to get ip of victim’s computer. Because by getting ip address we can hack their system in minutes. Here we posted social media chatting method to get their ip address by Facebook chat, after that we will hack their Computer System using CMD Commands. You can Also use other Method to get their IP. What exactly you want to do with MAC address? One can easily get MAC address of the connected devices to the same (W)LAN. By simply knowing MAC address, one cannot get access to the mobile. (and how?) Mobile owners can grant access to others on th. Jul 25, 2012  this article will demonstrate how you can ping a network device if you only have the MAC address of the hardware you are trying to ping without an IP address on the network using the most common tool in windows the DOS command prompt and in. I have ip address of one of my remote server I cannot login remotely. I have the IP address and I and trying to find the mac address or interface that connected to the server. Could you tell me the command or the way to find the Switch port or mac address if you only have ip address.

4 Steps total

Step 1: Open the command prompt

Click the Windows 'Start' button and select 'Run.' In the textbox, type 'cmd' and click the 'Ok' button. This opens a DOS prompt.

Step 2: Familiarize yourself with arp

Type 'arp' in the command prompt. This gives you a list of options to use with the arp command.

Step 3: List all MAC addresses

What Is My Ip Address Mac

Type 'arp -a' in the command prompt. This lists a number of MAC addresses with the associated IP addresses. Since you have the MAC address, scroll down the list to find the associated IP address. The MAC address is shown in the 'Physical Address' column with the IP address in the 'Internet Address' column. An example of a table record is in Step 4.

Step 4: Evaluate results

The following is an example of ARP output. The first column is the IP address. The second column is the MAC address, and the third is the type of IP assigned--static or dynamic.

  You've forgotten about one little thing: arp keeps mac<>ip association of recently contacted peers, so it's quite often not to find the mac<>ip association we're looking for, of machine that exists in the network. Prior to using arp -a it's wise to ping the host first.

  Used in conjunction with ping (thanks Krizz), this is a good basic walk through. I can't go wrong with these steps!

  I'm sorry but... if the thing is to find the IP address from the MAC, how will you ping the host first ?

  I thought the aim of this exercise was to FIND an IP address. Doesn't using PING imply you already know the IP (or hostname) which makes ARP redundant? How do you PING a MAC?

  Assuming no IP or hostname info, I have used a portscanner (like LanSpy or Zenmap) to get MAC > IP info. Currently my preferred method if the device isn't listed in Spiceworks :-)

  There was a time when I was a baby admin and I didn't want to raise alarms by installing a scanner that I wrote a batch file (yes, that long ago) that PINGed every IP on a subnet, then immediately ran ARP redirecting output to a text file. But that depends on the device in question being set to respond to PING requests.

  This does not work for any host on the other side of a router. Any hosts on the other side of the router will show the routers MAC address.

  I realize this is an old topic, but someone like myself may be looking for an answer. I became admin of a network with little over 200 devices, which none of the cabling was mapped. I was told I was responsible for the cabling, so I began looking for a way other than toning out all the cables. I was fortunate to have Cisco switches and Windows Server 2008. I was able to use the Cisco Network Assistant to grab MAC addresses and the port number, then in DHCP on the Server 2008 I could find the MAC and corresponding IP. Furthermore I could also get the computer name from DHCP and correlate that to which user was on the machine using PDQ inventory to see who was logged in to the machine. Most of this of course depends on the devices being in use. I've been able to create an accurate map of about 90% of my network without touching the cables.

  I am interested in this thread, hopefully someone can help. There are 4 types of arp message: arp request, arp reply, rarp request, rarp reply. So, that being said, is it possible to manually send a rarp request? Sort of a arp based ping?There is arping, but we need rarping... if it exists. Of course, I understand that I can't arp outside my default gateway, but if there is a rarp request, how is it used inside the local network? Thanks to whatever guru can explain what we're missing.

  Great for finding an IP if you have the MAC address.

  My instance where I found this useful was after updating the firmware on a switch remotely via TFTP, the IP of the switch would change (making pinging redundant, obviously). Trying a network scan over Spiceworks or rescanning the single device would not update the IP and I needed an alternate way to find it.

  This method worked perfectly. Thank you. Hopefully this helps those trying to understand the purpose of this practice and how it was in-fact useful.

  I understand the issues in attempting to use a MAC address to locate a device from outside of its local network.
  What puzzles me is how Honeywell Total Connect does this with their WiFi connected thermostats. The hardware configuration is: a Honeywell WiFi thermostat that is WiFi connected to a Netgear N600 router which uses DHCP to assign an IP adddress. The router is connected to Comcast with a Motorola SB6120 modem. Comcast assigns a system wide (dynamic) IP. There is no static IP.
  On initial setup, a WiFi connection is first established between the thermostat and the router. The thermostat's MAC and CRC and a username and password are entered into the Total Connect software setup. It is then possible to read or set thermostat values using Total Connect Web pages.
  I know how to do this with a static IP or a DNS service that automatically tracks changes in dynamic IP addresses.
  Does anyone understand how this works with Total Connect?

  This post was extremely helpful, thanks itdownsouth :) I used show interface to find MAC addresses on our switches (reason for this is poor network documentation and mis-labeled switchports and wall jacks...). I took the MAC addresses that I could not locate the hosts or ip addresses for, ran arp -a to list the address<>mac list, then one by one, nbtstat -A for each IP address I matched a MAC to from the unlabeled ports. Tedious, but found 5 or 6 now (seeing hexadecimal thoughts now though...).

  By the way, the reason this is working great for me is the lack of routers -- all switches, so if you have only one subnet like we do, this will do -- otherwise, you will probably need to login to the router or switch on the other side of the router to find MAC address tables on the other networks. You may not be able to see them all on the local host, as far as arp -a on the local host, but looking up the arp or hosts tables on switches and routers could be a possible solution for those with multiple subnets.

  Use SuperScan to do a bulk ping of the entire network range. SuperScan 3 (I recommend) is a free tool by McAfee.

  Then use arp -a | Find '5c-d9-98' to get for example all ping nodes with a manufacturer of Asus.

  There's also this:

  http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/

  It should be able to find most devices on the network. You can specify the range to scan and scan across subnets. I won't try to share all the features because quite frankly I don't know them all.

  If you want you can ping the broadcast address to ping everyone on the network then do arp -a

  @RobertRobinson I'm the lead designer and project manager on the Honeywell systems.

  I can tell you exactly how I designed it. It's actually quite simple. Nothing is sent back to the unit. The unit is allowed access to the Internet via your setup and the router. As long as the unit has permission to make an outbound connection it will work. What happens is the unit makes a report to the server. If it needs to make a request then it gives the server a unique key. The server puts any needed data in an xml (readable) and the thermostat (or quite a few other devices) hits that URL a few seconds later (the device told the server where it would pick up that info).

  All your device needs is a simple read-only connection to the outside world. No need to download anything.
  It's a VERY simple process that I developed back in 1992 when the Interwebs were still pretty new to most people. There were many processes built off of this simple idea (it was pretty cutting edge when I first designed it). Store and forward, offline browsing, push technology, etc. all are based on this simple technology.

  Am I rich? Not even close. I was working on my PhD at the time and was hired by Honeywell to implement my design. I literally gave it away to the general public as is right.

  I hope that clears it up for you. If not, feel free to contact me for more information.

Are you looking for ways to spoof MAC address on Android phones? Here’s how to do it in simple steps.

A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a 12-character unique identifier assigned to a specific piece of hardware such as the network adapter of your WiFi device. In simple words, a MAC address can be used to uniquely identify your Android phone on the Internet or the local network.

Spoofing MAC Address on Android Devices

Even though MAC address is embedded on the hardware device during manufacture, it can still be spoofed to input a new one of your choice. Here is a detailed instruction on how to spoof MAC address on your Android phone.

Before you spoof the MAC address, you need to record the original/current MAC address of your device which can be done according to the instruction below:

• On the Home Screen of your phone, tap Menu button and go to Settings.
• Tap About Device and go to Status
• Now scroll down to record the 12-digit code shown under Wi-Fi Mac address. An address would read something like:

Resolve Ip To Mac Address

Requirements for Spoofing the MAC Address

1. Rooted Android Phone
2. BusyBox app installed on your phone
3. Once BusyBox is installed, you need to install Terminal app

Once the above requirements are satisfied, follow the instructions below to spoof your MAC address:

1. Open the Terminal app and type the commands as listed below:
   
   $su[HIT ENTER]
   (This will show your current MAC address, just for your confirmation)
2. Now, type the following command:
   
   $busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX[HIT ENTER]
   (In the above command, replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with your new MAC address)
3. You have now spoofed your MAC address successfully. To check for the change enter the following command again:
   (Now you should see your new MAC address)
