I have a few questions, but all under the same umbrella topic: • If I find out a MAC address of a machine on a LAN, and I spoof my MAC to match that particular machine and join their LAN, how will things in the network behave? Dream aquarium is a next generation virtual aquarium game. • I read something that lead me to believe IPv6 has MAC addresses 'encoded' in them. Am I wrong in this interpretation?

I have a few questions, but all under the same umbrella topic: If I find out a MAC address of a machine on a LAN, and I spoof my MAC to match that particular machine and join their LAN, how will t. Thanks for the answer Agile. I still dont know however, if sophos antivirus for mac detects iexplore.exe(the malware). Also, when i read the EULA before downloading i got another question. A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud. Stacymichell Aug 8, 2012 2:49 AM Hello Everyone, I am looking to purchase a new Apple. Questions about the Mac?

A user has called the help desk where you work stating they cannot find a file on their PC. After asking a few basic questions you have determined they are using Mac OSX.

Would it be very bad if someone knew my IPv6 address - could this give them my MAC address also? • Can I get a legal programmable NIC that lets me change its MAC? • Do phones have an equivalent to MAC addresses? I heard it was UUID, but I wasn't sure. • Your first question is answered in,,, etc.

You should search this site to see if your question has been previously answered. • If you use SLAAC to assign IPv6 addresses, the 48-bit MAC address is converted to a modified 64-bit EUI. This has been of concern, and most OSes, by default, use privacy extensions/random address generation. See about this question. • You can change the MAC address which is used with most NICs, but I don't know of any which can be changed in the hardware. You are supposed to set the U/L bit when using your own MAC address, but I really don't see that being followed. I am not aware of there being anything illegal about changing your MAC address.

• VoIP phones that run on LANs which use MAC addresses (e.g. Ethernet or Wi-Fi) will have MAC addresses. MAC addresses are only significant on a LAN, and just about anyone on a LAN can get your MAC address from the host ARP cache after communicating with your host at layer-3.

Used taylormade r5 driver. To send a layer-3 packet to your host, a host will need to use something like ARP (IPv4) or ND (IPv6) to get your layer-2 address (MAC). Your host will also use ARP (a layer-2 broadcast) to discover the MAC addresses of other hosts, and it announces your MAC address to other hosts. Capital gains on real estate.
