    • Type ifconfig -a and press Enter.
    • Locate the entry for your active network interface (usually labeled "eth0" for Ethernet or "wlan0" for Wi-Fi).
    • Look for the entry labeled "HWaddr" or "ether." This is your MAC address.
  4. iOS:

    • Open the Settings app.
    • Tap on "General," then "About."
    • Scroll down until you see "Wi-Fi Address." This is your device's MAC address for Wi-Fi.
    • For the Bluetooth MAC address, you might need to consult your device's documentation or use third-party apps available on the App Store.
  5. Android:

    • Open the Settings app.
    • Depending on your device and Android version, the exact path may vary, but you're generally looking for "About phone" or "About device."
    • Look for "Status" or "Hardware information."
    • You should see your device's Wi-Fi MAC address listed here.
  6. Router Configuration Page:

    • If you're trying to find the MAC address of another device on your network, you can typically do this through your router's configuration page. Refer to your router's manual for instructions on accessing this page.
    • Once logged into your router's configuration page, look for a section like "Connected Devices," "DHCP Client List," or "Attached Devices." Here you'll find a list of devices connected to your network along with their MAC addresses.

Remember, the MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. It's important for troubleshooting network issues and for security purposes.
