Hey, That's really cool! A thought on the similar vain -- is it possible to set the MAC address in Nmap from a script? And if not, can it be added? The same way we set the version and state for ports, it'd be useful to set the remote MAC address so Nmap (and other scripts) can use it.

Hello, Here's a patch for nbstat.nse (and datafiles.lua) that adds the ability to look up MAC address manufacturer information and display it alongside the MAC address, similar to the way nmap does when scanning IP addresses on a local network. The patch add a capture pattern and associated parse function for nmap-mac-prefixes to nselib/datafiles.lua, and then utilizes that function in nbstat.nse to lookup MAC address manufacturers. Here's an example of how the output has been changed: Without patch: Host script results: | nbstat: | NetBIOS name: LATITUDE, NetBIOS user: <unknown>, NetBIOS MAC: 00:1f:3c:6a:38:45 <snip> With patch: Host script results: | nbstat: | NetBIOS name: LATITUDE, NetBIOS user: <unknown>, NetBIOS MAC: 00:1f:3c:6a:38:45 (Intel Corporate) <snip> Hopefully somebody else will find this useful, it's been a help to me doing network inventory management. Comments and questions regarding the patch are appreciated. Thanks, Thomas
