Windows: after download, open a command line (CMD.exe) then CD into the download folder and type 'sfk' for the help text. Mac/Linux: after download, open a command line or terminal, then rename to sfk like 'mv sfk-mac-64.exe sfk', make it executable by 'chmod +x sfk' and type './sfk'. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

We can find mac address (physical address) of a computer using the command ‘getmac‘. This can be used to get mac address for remote computers also. Below are few examples on how to use this command. It works on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 operating systems.

Get mac addresses from CMD

Update Xcode Macos Command Line

Just run the command getmac to get the mac addresses. Find an example below.

This command does not show mac addresses for the network connections which are disabled. You can run ncpa.cpl and check which NICs are disabled. Further, I have received comments that this command does not help identify the mac address for a specific device. For example, if I need to get the mac address for my WiFi card, output of getmac command is not helpful. We can use ipconfig command to deal with this.
