📚 About MAC Addresses

💡 What is a MAC Address? A MAC address (Media Access Control Address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. It's essential for LAN communication and device identification.

Format	Description	Example
`Standard Format`	6 bytes, hexadecimal representation	00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E
`Local Bit`	Second digit 2,6,A,E indicates local management	02:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E
`Unicast/Multicast`	Even second digit = unicast, odd = multicast	00:1A:2B... (unicast)
`Prefix`	OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier)	00:1A:2B (Apple)

📝 Generation Rules:


          Format = [Prefix][Local Bit][Unicast Bit][Random Bytes]


          Byte Count = 6 bytes (48 bits)


          Representation = Hexadecimal (0-9, A-F)

🔍 Common Vendor Prefixes:
• 00:1A:2B - Apple
• 00:1B:44 - Cisco
• 00:0C:29 - VMware
• 00:50:56 - VMware (manual)
• 00:15:5D - Microsoft Hyper-V
