Mac address question

[FedorEmelianenko]

Hi Guys/Girls

Sorry to bother you with this qustion. I usually don't ask questions without research and practical testing. Since My AP has died I was wondering this as i haven't had an AP to play with my mind has been very active hehe

If I setup WEP and set my AP to only authenticate my NIC mac address (00:01:0b:ca:cd:dc) I'm safe to say no one can breach my security. What if they knew the WEP key loaded Aircrack-ng to see weather my NIC Mac address was connected to the AP. They see that i'm not connected and change their mac address to 00:01:0b:ca:cd:dc "mac -m 00:01:0b:ca:cd:dc ath0 will they gain access?

Thanks,
FEdor

No, you would be completely wrong in that supposition.

Thanks for the reply

No, you would be completely wrong in that supposition

So they could change their MAC to mine and gain access?

I'll have to setup a 60 WPA2 Character passcode then
