Differentiating Apple products by their MAC addresses Thanks! This is the closest yet to an answer. We are indeed right now basically monitoring access points that have a lot of people coming through. A quick comment: your first sentence suggests that the pattern would need to be in the last three octets, which needn't be the case given the host of prefixes Apple has, but later you mention that sorting brings out no pattern either, so you may want to clarify. (Also, if you could s/mac/Mac/ where you mention the 1,000 iOS devices, that would help avoid confusion. :) |

Differentiating Apple products by their MAC addresses Thanks for the tip. For the record, I fully agree that MAC addresses aren't a stable identifier, but in my setting (i) it simply doesn't matter whether a handful of people have changed them and (ii) I mainly care about distinguishing ipods from ipads from iphones, so the likelihood of people having changed them on these devices is lower still. |

Differentiating Apple products by their MAC addresses No worries! I realize it's a somewhat unusual question. |

Differentiating Apple products by their MAC addresses Right, I understand that -- but my question wasn't whether MAC addresses are a reliable identifier, I'm asking whether I can distinguish Apple products using them. |

Differentiating Apple products by their MAC addresses No, that's not what I'm looking for -- I'm looking for a way to distinguish Apple products via their MAC addresses. |
