摘要：Every network adapter has a Media Access Control address. It is permanently embedded in the fireware of the adapter. We may also hear people refer to the Media access control address as MAC address, the physical address, the hardware address, or the adapter address. An attacker wishing to disrupt a wireless network has a wide arsenal available to them. Many of these tools rely on using a faked MAC address, masquerading as an authorized client. Using this spoofing of media access control address, an attacker can launch denial of service attacks, bypass access control mechanisms as a client.
