spoof mac address

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I am confused about this.

If I enable mac filtering, how can someone spoof the mac address?
Wouldn't the spoofer have to gain access to the network to even know what
address to spoof?

chicken?
egg?

No... the spoofer would monitor your wireless traffic and make a note of
the MAC addresses you are using - when MAC xxxxxx goes off-air he would
spoof MAC xxxxxx and connect.... your router will 'assume' it is the
(genuine) MAC connecting again.

I have no idea whether you're trying to be ironic, or merely clueless. Nor,
frankly do I care. Your posts seem increasingly trollish. Therefore I
propose to plonk you.

You voiced amazement at how 802.x works *today*, you didn't ask how some
different protocol might work in the future. If you want my predictions
for the future, send me twenty bucks, no cheques accepted.
