A computer connected to a modern network will have multiple MAC addressees. For example, if your laptop has an ethernet socket and WiFi, you'll have MAC addresses for each of those. Plus there'll be one for each VPN. So first you need to decide which MAC address you want to use.

Then there's the question, "Why do this in C++?" when a shell script is sufficient?
