How to tell the type of device by MAC address?
I have a friend who uses our Wi-Fi and one of his apple devices showed up on our list of people connected. It shows the MAC address and I found a site that told me it is in fact an apple device, but doesn't say anything else.
Is there a way to find out what exactly it is such as an iPhone, iPod, or an iPad? I want to figure out because he didn't even come over today and it showed up.
The IEEE maintains a list of the manufacturer codes - the first half of the MAC address.
The last half is unique to the device. If you can tie the device to a MAC, or assign a specific IP address on your router for it. There's no list. You will have to do some detective work.
If you assign a "dead" address like 127.0.0.1 - then your 'friend' won't be able to use your network to access the internet.
He might say " I'm having trouble using my iPhone to connect to the net". Or you may need to be a little more subtle.
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
- Will my jailbreak on one device transfer to another device via iTunes? So I bought an iPhone 5 today and I'm afraid to sync it to my Apple ID/ iTunes because my 8GB iPod is also synced to that iTunes account and its jailbroken. I don't want my jailbroken iPod to affect my iPhone 5. Will it affect it? I don't think it will but I just want to make sure before I sync it for the first time.
- Where is the MAC address on my iPhone 4S? I need to know the MAC address to put down on a waiver form so I can use my phone in class and I have no idea what it is or where I can find it. Someone help me out?
