README

Resolve hostnames on local networks via mDNS, LLMNR, NetBIOS, and reverse DNS. Includes ARP-based MAC address lookup with IEEE OUI vendor identification.

Requirements

PHP >= 8.1
ext-sockets

Installation

composer require geeklab/localname

Then download the IEEE OUI database for MAC vendor lookups:

php vendor/geeklab/localname/bin/update-oui.php

Quick Start

use Geeklab\Localname\LocalName;

$resolver = LocalName::create();
$result   = $resolver->lookup('192.168.1.100');

echo $result->ip;       // 192.168.1.100
echo $result->name;     // my-laptop.local
echo $result->protocol; // mdns
echo $result->mac;      // AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
echo $result->vendor;   // Apple, Inc.

Resolvers

LocalName::create() tries each resolver in order and returns the first match:

Resolver	Protocol	Method
mDNS	Multicast DNS (224.0.0.251:5353)	PTR query
NetBIOS	NBSTAT (port 137)	Wildcard name query
LLMNR	Link-Local Multicast (224.0.0.252:5355)	PTR query
Reverse DNS	System DNS	`gethostbyaddr()`

Using Individual Resolvers

use Geeklab\Localname\Resolvers\Mdns;
use Geeklab\Localname\Resolvers\Netbios;
use Geeklab\Localname\Resolvers\Llmnr;
use Geeklab\Localname\Resolvers\ReverseDns;

$mdns = new Mdns(timeout: 3.0);
$name = $mdns->resolve('192.168.1.100'); // returns string or null

Getting All Results

$results = $resolver->lookupAll('192.168.1.100');

foreach ($results as $r) {
    printf("[%s] %s\n", $r->protocol, $r->name);
}

MAC Vendor Lookup

MAC vendor identification requires the IEEE OUI database. Download it with the included script:

php bin/update-oui.php

This saves the database to data/oui.csv. Without it, lookup() still works -- vendor will just be null.

You can also pass a custom path:

$resolver = LocalName::create('/path/to/oui.csv');

Running Tests
