const crypto = require('crypto');

function stringToMacAddress(input) {
  // Create an MD5 hash of the input string
  const hash = crypto.createHash('md5').update(input).digest('hex');
  
  // Convert the hash to MAC address format
  const macAddress = hash.match(/.{1,2}/g).slice(0, 6).join(':');
  
  return macAddress;
}

// Test the function
console.log(stringToMacAddress('hello world'));  // Example output: '5e:b6:3b:76:24:f4'
console.log(stringToMacAddress('hello worLd'));  // Example output: '4f:a5:6c:87:35:e5'
