The Question :
My home network has a MAC filter, so I need to know the MAC address of this particular echo dot. I have nearly 30 smart devices connected to my router and I do not have the luxury of turning off one by one and to check. Also I can not turn off this echo dot.
How To Get The Mac Address
I tried with this Android app call ‘fing', but couldn't find. But I found a device with MAC vendor call ‘Espressif'.
Asking Alexa ‘what is your MAC address' did not work.
Is there a way that I can find MAC address or at least MAC vendor of echo dot?
- Read this: amazon.com/forum/… and find out why not to use MAC filtering at all.
- So you have a mac filter but no logs of unknown device to alert you if something try to hijack your network ? That's either unclear or a bad setup
- @mico, that comment stream on the Amazon forum was painful to read. It was like listening to annoying little kids arguing 'does not!', 'does too!' And it never did arrive at a conclusive statement. All that said, you are correct that MAC filtering is of little-positive-to-some-negative value, and not using a MAC filter generally solves more problems than it creates.
The Answer 1
MAC vendor info is actually part of MAC address (check out on wikipedia_link)
If you have any laptop/PC/Mac attached to the network try to discover it by typing simple command in command prompt/shell [ arp -a ]
You can use wireshark network sniffer.
There is list of sniffers on Insecure.Org web. One of tools which can be used is [nmap]
[nmap -sP 172.16.30.0/24]
