Get ARP MAC from IP address

/ Published in: Python

This can be used to get arp mac address from a ip address. Remember that MAC addresses are in arp tables (volatile), that's why a ping is done first. But i don't know if timing between ping call and arp call is enought to make sense (of pinging).

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import re
IP = "192.168.10.111"
Popen(["ping", "-c 1", IP], stdout = PIPE)
pid = Popen(["arp", "-n", IP], stdout = PIPE)
s = pid.communicate()[0]
mac = re.search(r"(([a-f\d]{1,2}\:){5}[a-f\d]{1,2})", s).groups()[0]
print "%s--> %s" % (IP, mac)
