Hey, /g/, is a MAC address traceable to the owner of the device?

>>59618294
It can be, but usually not. Especially when MAC addresses can be easily spoofed.

>>59618294
Your ISP knows that your IP and MAC are tied to you, since that is how they bill you

Why? If the police search in all the ISP database, it can be located

They see the MAC address of your router and/or modem. They don't see shit from your devices. That's how NAT works.

Use VPN to hide your MAC and route more RAM. For $10 a month it's a steal!

It really depends on the technology.
Getting an ip adress via MAC is usually used by cable modems

The feds are not stupid. Of course they try to grab MAC of your PC, not your modem or wifi router, faggots. The MAC value itself often tells if it's an end host, or just some middlebox.

For example, java applet can enumerate host interfaces, including MAC. Tor browser exploit, for example, didn't install a botnet, it merely sent your homeip and MAC of host where the exploit ran.

Permanently changing a MAC isn't a bad idea, but not every windows NIC driver supports it.

Partially correct. NAT does not change a frames Source MAC Address, a router or any layer3 devices however will in general. A router does not have to change your IP address to it's own address to be able to route packets to and from the source or target host.

Why is /g/ infested with shitters asking for advice on how to get away with iphone theft and child porn? This board needs to be deleted

Few of us come here to watch pedos and tyrones failing CS 101. It's like watching monkeys in a zoo parroting memes at each other, fapping and humping inanimate objects.

i'll look into it once someone actually starts using it
