Bug Description
Hi,
The bundled nmap-mac-prefixes dates back to 2019:
| # $Id: nmap-mac-prefixes 37638 2019-05-28 21:35:45Z dmiller $ generated with make-mac-
| # Original data comes from http://
| # These values are known as Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUIs)
| # See http://
| # We have added a few unregistered OUIs at the end.
Think we could automatically update this when packaging nmap?
Maybe get it from http://
Something like this would generate the file in a format nmap understands:
| grep 'base 16' oui.txt | sed -e 's/\s*(base 16)\s*/ /g' | sudo tee /usr/share/
Hi Haw,
Thanks for taking the time to file a bug and help make things better.
As I see it, the nmap package is in sync with Debian and would be great if we can keep it that way. Whilst I have forwarded this bug to the Debian's package maintainer, I'd like to know if you could please file this bug in the Debian BTS instead?
This looks like a good wishlist bug(?) and having it filed in BTS shall help and this way, it won't be accidentally forgotten, either.
Let me know what do you think? TIA! \o/
