So what if someone has a changeable MAC NIC? Step 1: Break through physical access and get yourself a Ethernet port to connect to. Step 2: Attempt to connect. Ethernet port shuts down almost as soon as you connected. Step 3: Since you are very technically competent you recognize the possibility that MAC level security is in place. Step 4: You conclude it will be far easier to steal time at a host that is already within the network rather than attempt to guess a valid MAC address.

Ahh.. this makes me think of 802.1Q. I have not seen it actually deployed anywhere however... Authentication based Virtual VLAN's would fit nicely here.
Indeed, it makes me wonder why people don't use VLAN by mac very often, seems like it would be a good fit for lots of situations. But I guess the whole changeable mac address thing could cause lots of problems. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
