Device Type identification from MAC address
Can I determine if a device is IPhone/IPad/IPod or Android from its MAC addr开发者_如何学编程ess ? MAC addresses can be used to identify the manufacturer but can I distinguish a Macbook pro from an IPhone ?
Unless Apple uses unique wifi chipset suppliers for a Macbook that would never be used for an iphone (e.g. samsung for iphone and toshiba for macbook), a mac address will only ever tell you who manufactured the particular wifi chip in use. Maybe certain ranges of mac addresses would only ever show up in one type of device, but you'd have to compile that list yourself.
