title: Getting remote User Mac address
body: <p>I am working on a project using mongodb, express and nodejs to build an intranet based webapp. The goal of the project is to acquire a user mac address upon authentication and run a remote ssh. I am however finding it difficult to get the remote pc mac address. The clients and server are meant to be on the same local subnet. I tried using the node getmac module, but apparently it only gives host server's mac,</p>
  
  <pre><code>var macAddress = require('getmac');
  require('getmac').getMac(function(err, macAddress){
  if (err)  throw err
  console.log(macAddress)
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried the macfromip module but with that you have to predefine the host IP to get the mac of the remote computer.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var macfromip = require('macfromip');
  macfromip.getMac('192.168.1.100', function(err, data){
      if(err){
          console.log(err);
      }
      console.log(data);
  
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any other way i could get the user's mac address?</p>
