MAC-address (EUI-48) tooling as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The parse endpoint validates a MAC address given in any common notation — colon, hyphen, Cisco dotted or a bare run of 12 hex digits — and returns it in every standard format, split into its OUI (the first three bytes, assigned to a hardware vendor) and its NIC (the last three, device-specific) parts, plus the 48-bit integer value. The analyze endpoint reads the control bits of the first octet: the least-significant bit is the I/G bit that marks a unicast or multicast address, and the next bit is the U/L bit that marks a universally (vendor-assigned) or locally administered address, and it flags the broadcast address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. The eui64 endpoint derives the modified EUI-64 interface identifier — flipping the U/L bit and inserting FF:FE in the middle — and the resulting IPv6 link-local address (fe80::/64) used by stateless address autoconfiguration. Vendor name lookup needs the IEEE OUI registry and is not included. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for networking, IoT, device-management, monitoring and security app developers, MAC-normalisation and IPv6 tools, and networking education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is MAC-address tooling; for IPv4 subnetting use a subnet API and for DNS records a DNS API.

Identify the manufacturer behind any MAC address. Look up a MAC or OUI to get the assigned vendor, its short name and the exact assignment block (/24, /28 or /36) using the official IEEE registry, search the registry by vendor name to find all of a company’s OUIs, or generate random valid test MAC addresses for a given vendor. MAC addresses are accepted in every common format — colon, hyphen, dot or bare hex — and bare OUIs work too. Built on the open IEEE OUI dataset (~57,000 assignments) and served entirely in-memory, so responses are instant and the service is always available. Ideal for network scanning and monitoring, IoT and device identification, security and asset inventory, NAC and devops tooling.
