MAC Address Lookup

Find the registered vendor for a MAC prefix.

Live lookup

The first three bytes of a MAC address form the Organisationally Unique Identifier, assigned by the IEEE to a manufacturer. Looking that prefix up identifies who made the network interface, which helps when recognising unknown devices on a network.

How MAC Address Lookup works

What it does

Find the registered vendor for a MAC prefix.

What you get

The registered vendor associated with the address prefix.

Live data sources

The target is sent to a network provider. Results include their source; timeouts and unavailable data are clearly marked.

What if a check cannot finish?

Confirm your input and try again. A timeout, blocked request, or unavailable provider is not proof that a domain is broken. Internet measurements and third-party services have limits.

MAC Address Lookup — frequently asked questions

Why does my phone show an unknown vendor?

Modern phones randomise their MAC address per network for privacy. A randomised address has the locally-administered bit set and matches no registered vendor.

Can a MAC address be changed?

Yes, trivially, on most operating systems. Treat it as a hint about a device, never as an authentication factor.

Does the vendor tell me the device model?

No, only the manufacturer of the network interface — and large vendors hold many prefixes spanning very different products.
