When you support small offices, home offices, and remote offices, you often run across older wireless equipment. Equipment that's likely secured with MAC filtering and perhaps a hidden SSID and WEP encryption.
I think most techs would agree that MAC filtering alone isn't going to secure a wireless network and that even WEP and a hidden SSID aren't much better. But, does MAC filtering at least keep out the lazy hackers? In this IT Dojo video, I show you just how easy it is to spoof a MAC address.
After watching the video, you can read the original tip in Chad Perrin's article, "How to spoof a MAC address"

Hey this was a great video. I was curious about wep cracking and it led me here. Very informative, but the video didnt sync up with the audio. Looked like an animated gif, not sure whats up with that.
