Joining me today is Jenny Stevens, otherwise known as Mrs. Mac Lawyer, the better half, of course, of Mr. Mac Lawyer, Ben Stevens. Jenny practices family law with the Stevens Firm in South Carolina, which she co-owns with her husband, Ben. Before Jenny and Ben merged forces, jenny practices in an all-PC law office. The Oculus Rift headset will be available on Mac machines when Apple releases a 'good computer,' says the founder of the virtual reality firm.

Our MAC Address API outputs a field called macAddressDetails.virtualMachine. If it detects that a Virtual Machine is using this MAC address, it outputs its vendor name (e.g. ”VMWare”). Otherwise, it outputs “Not detected”.

To detect the Virtual Machines, we build our VM Knowledge Base, which stores information about known relations between MAC addresses and Virtual Machines, and patterns, based on which the Virtual Machines assign MAC addresses to the virtual network interfaces.

This information comes from the two sources:

  • We constantly scan the Internet for such information. It’s systemized, stored and verified.
  • Our research team installed the Virtual Machines and performed experiments, trying to identify patterns on how their network interfaces receive MAC addresses.
