According to ZDnet, the MAC address can be viewed in clear text by a packet sniffing software

From there, the hacker can spoof his wireless adapter's MAC address and gain access to the wireless network

You should not use MAC address filtering by itself.

3 Months ago i did test with my friends and somes laptops... on 95 wireless networks we discovered in about... 1 km of road 69 wasent protected.

And im talking about Montreal... who is an big city

So think about New York and all thoses BIG CITIES who're vulnerable(as i think) .

MAC filtering + WPA is the way to go

jamotto · 20th Jul 2008, 09:38 AM

WPA + at least 32 character password changed often + no broadcast of SSID + MAC Filtering + Turn down antenna power + change default admin password. Do all that and you might keep the average joe out.
