I can use
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
to obtain the mac address, but if I use this code in an offline machine it doesn't work.
So, How can I get the Mac address?
With Java 6+, you can use NetworkInterface.getHardwareAddress.
Bear in mind that a computer can have no network cards, especially if it's embedded or virtual. It can also have more than one. You can get a list of all network cards with NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces().
With all the possible solutions that i've found here and another replies, then i will contribute with my solution. You need to specify a parameter with a String containing "ip" or "mac" depending on what you need to check. If the computer has no interface, then it will return an String containing null, otherwise will return a String containing what you asked for (the ip address or the mac).
How to use it:
System.out.println("Ip: " + GetNetworkAddress.GetAddress("ip"));
System.out.println("Mac: " + GetNetworkAddress.GetAddress("mac"));
Result (if the computer has a network card):
Ip: 192.168.0.10
Mac: 0D-73-ED-0A-27-44
Result (if the computer doesn't have a network card):
Ip: null
Mac: null

UPDATED 02/05/2017: Thanks to @mateuscb on the post How to Determine Internet Network Interface in Java that unfortunately didn't get any upvote on that post before, but he contributed to this update.
The method has been improved to skip virtual machine network cards (most popular VM software)
As for the computer being offline, it usually doesn't have an IP assigned, because DHCP is widely used...
And for the question in the title:
NetworkInterface.getHardwareAddress()
Another way is to use an OS command 'getmac' through native code execution.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("getmac /fo csv /nh");
java.io.BufferedReader in = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
line = in.readLine();
String[] result = line.split(",");
System.out.println(result[0].replace('"', ' ').trim());
Try this:
final NetworkInterface netInf = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces().nextElement();
final byte[] mac = netInf.getHardwareAddress();
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
}
log.info("Mac addr: {}", sb.toString());
Cleaned up code from here:
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class HardwareAddress
{
public static String getMacAddress() throws UnknownHostException,
SocketException
{
InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
NetworkInterface networkInterface = NetworkInterface
.getByInetAddress(ipAddress);
byte[] macAddressBytes = networkInterface.getHardwareAddress();
StringBuilder macAddressBuilder = new StringBuilder();
for (int macAddressByteIndex = 0; macAddressByteIndex < macAddressBytes.length; macAddressByteIndex++)
{
String macAddressHexByte = String.format("%02X",
macAddressBytes[macAddressByteIndex]);
macAddressBuilder.append(macAddressHexByte);
if (macAddressByteIndex != macAddressBytes.length - 1)
{
macAddressBuilder.append(":");
}
}
return macAddressBuilder.toString();
}
}
@Jesus Flores, still not working for me, this code:
element.getHardwareAddress().length > 0
is throwing exception. We have to check for null. Final solution in your case that is working for me:
while (addresses.hasMoreElements()
&& element.getHardwareAddress() != null
&& element.getHardwareAddress().length > 0
&& !isVMMac(element.getHardwareAddress())) {
final InetAddress ip = addresses.nextElement();
if (ip instanceof Inet4Address) {
// || ip instanceof Inet6Address
if (ip.isSiteLocalAddress()) {
ipAddress = ip.getHostAddress();
lanIp = InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress);
}
}
}
I am working always over wi-fi.
Medium access control address (MAC address)
MAC address of a device is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC). For communications within a network segment, it is used as a network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Within the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, MAC addresses are used in the medium access control protocol sublayer of the data link layer.
MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of network interface cards. Each is stored in hardware, such as the card's read-only memory or by a firmware mechanism.
Use the following function getPhysicalAddress() to get list of MAC address:
static String format = "%02X"; // To get 2 char output.
private static String[] getPhysicalAddress() throws Exception{
try {
// DHCP Enabled - InterfaceMetric
Set<String> macs = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
Enumeration<NetworkInterface> nis = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
while( nis.hasMoreElements() ) {
NetworkInterface ni = nis.nextElement();
byte mac [] = ni.getHardwareAddress(); // Physical Address (MAC - Medium Access Control)
if( mac != null ) {
final StringBuilder macAddress = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
macAddress.append(String.format("%s"+format, (i == 0) ? "" : ":", mac[i]) );
//macAddress.append(String.format(format+"%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? ":" : ""));
}
System.out.println(macAddress.toString());
macs.add( macAddress.toString() );
}
}
return macs.toArray( new String[0] );
} catch( Exception ex ) {
System.err.println( "Exception:: " + ex.getMessage() );
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return new String[0];
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
InetAddress localHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Host/System Name : "+ localHost.getHostName());
System.out.println("Host IP Address : "+ localHost.getHostAddress());
String macs2 [] = getPhysicalAddress();
for( String mac : macs2 )
System.err.println( "MacAddresses = " + mac );
}
The above function works as ipconfig/all|find "Physical Address" >>MV-mac.txt.
D:\>ipconfig /all|find "Physical Address"
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 94-57-A6-00-0C-BB
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 01-FF-60-93-0B-88
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 62-B8-9A-2B-F3-87
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 60-B8-9A-2B-F3-87
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 60-B8-9A-2B-F3-87
The IEEE divides the OSI data link layer into two separate sublayers:
- Logical link control (LLC): Transitions up to the network layer
- MAC: Transitions down to the physical layer Image ref
Returns the media access control (MAC) address and list of network protocols associated with each address for all network cards in each computer, either locally or across a network.
D:\>getmac /fo csv /nh
NET START command
D:\>netsh interface ipv4 show addresses
public static void main(String[] args){
InetAddress ip;
try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress());
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
}
System.out.println(sb.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
output:
Current IP address : 192.168.21.60
Current MAC address : 70-5A-0F-3C-84-F2
