I'm just curious if the MAC address of the laptop NIC ever gets past my home broadband router.
Assuming my home broadband router is set up with the typical defaults, is there any way that the laptop's wlan0 or eth0 MAC address can get past the router to an assailant?
I realize at a wireless hotspot, where I don't control the router, the MAC address can be logged - but does a typical home broadband router setup prevent an intruder from obtaining the laptop NIC MAC address?
