How to get MAC Address of all Devices in my Network using PHP ?
MAC Address
According to Wikipedia, a media access control address (MAC address) of a device is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC). For communications within a network segment, it is used as a network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a communication protocol used for discovering the link layer address, such as a MAC address, associated with a given internet layer address, typically an IPv4 address. This mapping is a critical function in the Internet protocol suite.
<?php $arp=`arp -a`; $lines=explode("\n", $arp); $devices = array(); foreach($lines as $line){ $cols=preg_split('/\s+/', trim($line)); if(isset($cols[2]) && $cols[2]=='dynamic'){ $temp = array(); $temp['ip'] = $cols[0]; $temp['mac'] = $cols[1]; $devices[] = $temp; } } ?> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.4/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha256-SC9pI7daKIBEHzXq0JEtOr9yMl5V7yMMqoowsw8uzNs=" crossorigin="anonymous" /> <div class="container" style="margin-top:250px;"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <table class="table table-striped table-bordered"> <thead> <tr> <th>IP</th> <th>MAC</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <?php foreach($devices as $device){?> <tr> <td><?php echo $device['ip'];?></td> <td><?php echo $device['mac'];?></td> </tr> <?php } ?> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div>
