How to get Windows MacID using python script
Comment
1 / 1
To retrieve the MAC address (Media Access Control address) of a network adapter in Windows using a Python script, you can use the uuid
and psutil
libraries. Here's an example script to help you achieve this:
pythonimport uuid
import psutil
def get_mac_address():
# Get a list of network interfaces
network_interfaces = psutil.net_if_addrs()
# Iterate through network interfaces and find the MAC address
for interface_name, interface_addresses in network_interfaces.items():
for address in interface_addresses:
if address.family == psutil.AF_LINK:
return address.address
# Get the MAC address and display it
mac_address = get_mac_address()
print("MAC Address:", mac_address)
Please note that you'll need to have the psutil
library installed. You can install it using the following command:
bashpip install psutil
Keep in mind that the above script will return the MAC address of the first network adapter it finds. If you want to target a specific network adapter, you might need to modify the script accordingly.
Also, please be aware that obtaining MAC addresses may require administrative privileges on some systems, and MAC addresses can be spoofed or changed.
