So, I am sorry moetheman, but you appear quite wrong in this. I have yet to find anywhere that says that a MAC Address is discoverable outside a LAN without broadcasting it or using it as part of a secure login schema. |
Look, read what I fucking wrote before you post.
Here is the link to one of the
TEXTBOOKS I read. See page 280 for VERIFICATION of what I was referring to when I broke it all down for mediaguy:
http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Guide-Comp...5911346&sr=8-1
Also, you don't understand the context of all this. You wrote that "I was wrong" AS IF this were AN OPINION on my behalf. You are mistaken. What I have referred to is a VERIFIABLE FACT.
Buy the textbook, read it, understand it, and you will have all the answers you need in relation to the subject.
It's around $50, 1,600+ pages, and
highly technical, but it's there if you want it.
Page 280.
Anyone who wants me to basically scan the page and post it here can go fuck themselves.
