GET-OUI(1) General Commands Manual GET-OUI(1) NAME get-oui - Fetch the arp-scan OUI file from the IEEE website SYNOPSIS get-oui [options] DESCRIPTION get-oui fetches the MAC/Vendor registry data from the IEEE website and con- verts it to the format used by arp-scan. The contents of the following reg- istries are downloaded and processed: MA-L 24-bit The original OUI registry MA-M 28-bit Medium address block registry MA-S 36-bit Small address block registry (OUI-36) IAB 36-bit The IAB registry (closed for new applications) This script creates ieee-oui.txt from the latest data on the IEEE website. You can run get-oui occasionally to keep the OUI file up to date. The OUI data is fetched from the URLs specified in the get-oui script and the output file is saved to the file ieee-oui.txt in the current directory. The output file name can be changed with the -f option. The ieee-oui.txt file that is produced by this script is used by arp-scan to determine the Ethernet card vendor from its hardware address. arp-scan will first look for ieee-oui.txt in the current directory. If that fails, it will use the system wide file /usr/local/share/arp- scan/ieee-oui.txt. OPTIONS -h Display a brief usage message and exit. -f <fn> Write the output to the specified file instead of the default ieee- oui.txt. -v Display verbose progress messages. FILES ieee-oui.txt The default output file. EXAMPLES $ ./get-oui -v Renaming ieee-oui.txt to ieee-oui.txt.bak Opening ieee-oui.txt for output Processing IEEE IAB registry data from https://standards-oui.ieee.org/iab/iab.csv Downloaded 381454 bytes 4575 IAB entries written to ieee-oui.txt Processing IEEE MAM registry data from https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui28/mam.csv Downloaded 492756 bytes 4477 MAM entries written to ieee-oui.txt Processing IEEE OUI registry data from https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv Downloaded 3051812 bytes 32845 OUI entries written to ieee-oui.txt Processing IEEE OUI36 registry data from https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui36/oui36.csv Downloaded 466151 bytes 5131 OUI36 entries written to ieee-oui.txt Total of 47028 MAC/Vendor mappings written to ieee-oui.txt NOTES get-oui is implemented in Perl, so you need to have the Perl interpreter installed on your system to use it. get-oui uses the LWP::UserAgent and Text::CSV Perl modules to fetch and process the IEEE registry data. You must have these modules installed on your system for it to work. These modules are available on most distribu- tions, often called libwww-perl and libtext-csv-perl. They are also avail- able in source form from CPAN. You can use a proxy server by defining the http_proxy environment variable. SEE ALSO arp-scan(1) arp-fingerprint(1) October 28, 2022 GET-OUI(1)
