  • Unless its embedded in the data in higher layer protocols intentionally ( and it might be, I dunno what's available to query from the server side anymore ) the mac won't be passed beyond the local segments, as in routed traffic.

    In other words, mac only matter in local network communication. Between your devices and router both know each other's MAC but when your router passes that traffic to your ISP on prem equipment, and doesn't make it to the end.

    Going back to what's available for the server to query, I know there are a lot of params you can see but I'd be shocked if MAC were, I don't recall seeing it used as a fingerprint. I'm gonna try to dig in and see when I have some time.





  • Its weird as shit too. All kinds of kid maintenance people get really weirded out when you come in with informed kids who know exactly what the procedure is, what goes on, and has their own questions about it appropriate for a 5 year old.

    They expect you lie to your children, about anything that might be unpleasant and just let it be a traumatic surprise ( this is what my parents did )
