What vendors are lurking on your network?

This software figures this out!

How?

This program reviews an ARP or MAC Address table (Such as a Cisco IOS sh ip arp or sh mac add output), and produces information on your network like:

• How many different vendors (as in companies) exist within your network?
• How many different types of hardware (MAC OUIs) exist within your network?
• Where are all these things, and what are their IPs?
• A list (and total) of all the Apple, Cisco, Dell, HP, and Mitel products that exist on your network
• Are there any hidden VLANs lurking within your network? This answers this too!

Table of Contents:

• Why?
• Dependencies
• Input
• Output

Why?

• Understanding what exactly is in your network is essential for security reasons...
  
• Benchmarks your network so you can easily see changes

Dependencies

• This uses a restful API to search for the vendors, so it needs a working internet connection
• This needs the output of an ARP or MAC Address table as a text file (such as the Cisco IOS #sh ip arp format seen below), as it is using this to do the lookup

Input

• Contents of an ARP or MAC Address table as a text file (such as a Cisco #sh ip arp output, like below):
  
  

Output

• Example of the output:
  
  

• If Chrome or Firefox is available (on a Windows, Mac or Linux system), it will create an interactive web-based pie chart and display it in the browser:

• Created text file "company_list.txt" output:
  
  
• Created text file "oui_final_list.txt" output:
  
  
• Created Vendor-Devices.txt file:
  
  
• Creates a list of CSV "spreadsheet" device files and puts them in a new csv_files folder
• Puts all the *.txt files created into the text_files folder

As of 03/29:

Features:

• Produces output on the vendors (companies) seen within the network, such as their hardware address, IP address, VLAN etc
• Produces an interactive web-based pie chart if you have Firefox or Chrome available on a Windows Apple, or Linux system
• Rich color formatting for the screen for easy viewing
• Organizes files into two folders csv_files and text_files for easy review

Fixes:

• Now requests for the application to be restarted if needed libraries are installed

03/23/2022

• Fixed CSV bug, now csv files contain the correct info
• *.csv device files are now in the csv_files folder
• *.txt files are now moved to the folder text_files for cleaner organization

As of 03/19/2022

• Any Device.txt files created are also saved as csv (comma separated value) files in the created csv_files folder; for easy import into spreadsheet applications

Previous updates:

• Added current directory path instead of saying "current directory" review by spreadsheet applications
• CLI / Terminal output is now colored
• Output is organized
• Shows an interactive (mouse over the section pieces) pie graph on Linux / Mac / Windows if Chrome or Firefox is available
• Works with the output of any MAC or ARP table (saved as plain text)
• Produces files showing details like IP address (ARP input) or switch interface port (MAC address table input) where the vendors are within the network
• Cross platform
• If required libraries are not installed, the software automatically installs them (in rare instances one may have to run the software twice)

This program reads a text file containing the output of a MAC address table or an ARP table like a Cisco sh ip arp it then data mines that file, getting the company and OUI information, it then searches the text file using the specific OUIs for Apple, Cisco, Dell, Mitel and HP devices to get how many of each of these devices are in the ARP / MAC address table.

It produces text files containing:

• The alphabetized list of unique vendors (as in companies) shown in the file (via a restful API lookup)
• A list of all the unique OUIs (hardware types) seen in the ARP / MAC Address table (removes duplicate entries)
• A total list of Apple systems seen in the ARP /MAC address table
• A total list of the Cisco devices seen in the ARP / MAC address table
• A total list of the Dell devices see in the ARP / MAC address table
• A total list of all the HP devices in the ARP / MAC address table
• A total list of all the Mitel Inc phones in the ARP / MAC address table
• A total list of all the unique VLANs in the ARP / MAC address table

The files above contain relevant information such as (if an ARP table was digested) the IP address, time the system in question saw the device, the MAC address of the specific device, and the VLAN it is in.

... And now shows progress bars and produces an interactive Pie Chart if you have Firefox or Chrome available on a Linux, Windows or Mac computer
