Re: Alert when MAC address connects to network

["Hendra Santosa" <hendra () srd co id>]

Dear Magnus,

You may use NBTScan (http://www.inetcat.org/software/nbtscan.html) to scan
all connections. Find any match with the specified MAC address from the its
output and run it periodically to scan. Alert could be generated as you
wish. But there's a possibility to change the MAC address
(http://www.klcconsulting.net/smac/) or

Hope it helps.

Regards,

cyhss
