How to find the MAC addresses of people connected to my WIFI
I want to know if there is any command line that detects the MAC addresses of people connected to my WIFI network?

Check the manual for your wireless router, some will show the MAC addresses of all connected devicesZorba wrote:I want to know if there is any command line that detects the MAC addresses of people connected to my WIFI network?

There's probably 642 ways to do this - here's one:
Change 192.168.0.100 to the ip address of the router or even your own ip address.
Code: Select all
sudo nmap -sP -oG- 192.168.0.100/24
Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

Well, 192.168.1.1 seem to be your router which has a MAC address too and 192.168.1.50 seems to be your system. With only you connected to your network, your network has two hosts, your router and your system.
