Finding the IP in linux

• You can see your public IP typing in google: ‘my ip’ and also, from this wbsite.

In linux you can use a GUI with name similar to ‘Network Interfaces’ or a line command.

• To directly get the IP:

  hostname -I
  

• To the IP and the status of each available network adapter (Ethernet=eth#, wifi, etc):

  ip addr show
  

  ip a
  

• For MAC addresses. MAC address is using six groupings of two characters separated by a hyphen or colon. i.e ab-cd-ef-12-34-56. The second line you get from the next command will indicate the current MAC address:

  ip link show
  

• More network tools can be found with ifconfig, after installation.
