Part 1 (of TBD): Powershell MAC Address Vendor Lookup – OUI.TXT

This is part one of a series within a series about how to perform downloads of the oui.txt file from IEEE to identify the vendor of a MAC prefix. Part 1 introduces a cross-platform Powershell module that downloads the oui.txt file and pre-processes it for the MAC base 16 format. Helpful for looking up arrays of MAC addresses.

Part 2 will dive more into passing any type of object into the pipeline and having the script automatically extract and lookup MACs.

Part 3 and later will introduce Node-Red and building an endpoint API that performs the download and processing at scheduled times and utilizes some layer of database interaction to provide better performance for API interaction. Subject to change but where I am headed with this discuss.
