In other words, you can identify the manufacturer of your device through your pyshical address.

There are different tools on the Internet that allow you to identify the manufacturer from the MAC Address.

Docker Rest Api How To Capture The

How in my 3 previous post I wrote about how to capture the wireless traffic and all MAC Address, now in this post I will explain how to implement a Docker container exposing a Rest API to get the Manufacturer from the captured MAC Address.

As everything should be lightweight, minimalist, easy to use and auto-contained, Im going to use the next: Python as lightweight and powerful programming language.

Flask ( ) is a microframework for Python based on Werkzeug and Jinja 2.

Docker Rest Api Software Library That

SQLite3 ( ) is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine.

CORS extension for Flask ( ) useful to solve cross-domain Ajax request issues.

This Docker container is part of the Everything generates Data: Capturing WIFI Anonymous Traffic using Raspberry Pi and WSO2 BAM blog serie ( Part I, Part II Part III ), but you can use it independently as part of other set of Docker containers.

Wireshark is a popular network protocol analyzer a.k.a.

Wireshark tool uses internally the MAC Address list to identity the Manufacturer of a NIC.

The idea is to parse the file and load it into a minimalist DB.

I will use SQLite Database where I will create an unique table and all information will be loaded there.

The idea is to make a call GET to the API Rest with a MAC Address and get the Manufacturer as response.

The idea is to create documentation about the API Rest and explain what resources are available or exposed, writte a request and response sample, etc.

In this scenario Im going to define in a simple way the API, also Im going to use JSON to define the request and response.

GET chilcanoapimanufmacAddress Find Manufacturer by MAC Address.

The first one ( macmanuftabledef.py ) is just a Model of the MacAddressManuf table.

To run the above Python Web Application (API Rest) just execute the Python script.

Note that actually I have 3 versions (py-1.0, py-1.1 and py-latest).

In this scenario, our Docker MAC Manuf will be useful because It will provide the Manufacturer information via a RESTful Microservice.

Then, the idea is configure the WSO2 BAM Dashboard (the prepared Kismet Toolbox) to point to the Docker MAC Manuf RESTful Microservice.

In other words, the WSO2 BAM will call to the Docker MAC Manuf Microservice to get the Manufacturer information.

The development of this (Micro)service and put It into a Docker container was a smooth experience.
