Yea, and MAC addresses could be changed, too. Would not RARP resolve MAC to IP ? Unique or not, they were in the case I just worked on, though it was a local spoofing event. MAC address matched one in the router ARP cache, which gave IP. Access records confirmed this person was on every time the spoofing took place. Not to mention when he/she called and asked why their account did not work, I just said "Your spoofing" and I have not heard a word sense. In this case the MAC address was not the only piece of evidence, but it did select 1 user from 10,000. I'll be interested to see what others say, I am seeing spoofing again, but it is not local. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Wagenaar" <PB.Wagenaarat_private> To: "'James'" <jameshat_private>; <incidentsat_private> Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 6:04 PM Subject: RE: Spoofed scans > Do you mean get the MAC address?
