I have just gone through this kind of pallaver trying to identify what the various MAC addresses refer to on my router and phone. I can only hope that some of the unknown historically listed things are things that I've connected to in the past, rather than rogue things that have connected to me. I've been playing with internet-of-things, or smart devices, lately. Hooking up door reed sensors, remote controlled lamps and lamp sockets. After managing to identify everything, which was a hell of a lot of mucking around. All the gadgets I can get my hands on have been labelled with their manufacturer's device name and MAC, in writing that I can read without needing a magnifying glass. And the things I can't reach without getting a ladder out have been noted down on paper and computer file. It took ages to find out that one rogue WiFi device was a smart TV. It offers itself as an access point for screen mirroring, though not in a way that's chromecast compatible, or compatible with any apps on my phone that I'd rather watch on a large screen (grr, sodding competing standards). There's still one rogue device (I can't remember, now, if it was WiFi or Bluetooth) that's available all over the house at the same power level. If I wander around with a RF sensing app on the phone, it's everywhere. It's non-connectible, and just shows a MAC. I've gone around unplugging everything, but it's still there. I think I even turned off the power to the house, too. Surely it can't be a neighbour's device? The power level would have changed while walking around. It doesn't help that the detecting app has decided not to work in real time, any more. You used to be able to wander around and listen to the beeping change, like you were using a bug detector in a spy movie. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 15:48:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
