does anyone know how to find the MAC address of the EZ-B V4?
Someone is hijacking Nomads network so I am implementing MAC filtering. If I could get the device on the network, I would be able to see the MAC, but as soon as I unlock MAC filtering, the AP gets compromised.
Please let me know if there is any way to find the MAC address while in AP mode on the EZ-B V4.
Thanks David
I would have built a Yagi and blasted him, but that would also be unethical.
All good, its working great now. Using technology to defeat technology attacks is fun. also, the attack was coming from below most likely. He would have had to walk on aluminum. thats no fun. it could have been coming from another building also. in any event, it isnt happening now and he is happy.
Another way to get the Mac address of local computers us to use a windows machine and do this:
open cmd command prompt
ping the IP address at least once
type ARP -a
You will see the Mac that matches the ip
Right DJ, but that doesn't give you the mac address of the EZ-B that isn't on the network yet. You can't ping it if your not on the network yet so its not in the ARP cache yet. The only device he has that is able to connect to the EZ-B in AP mode is an android phone. Well, he has an iphone 4 too, but we didn't try that.
Anyway, I wonder if in a future release of the firmware if you could include the MAC address in the webserver that is in each EZ-B. Just a thought, but it would be very helpful in some crazy situations like to one I helped Patrick with today.
Yes, you would have to connect to it.
Otherwise, the default SSID of the WiFi when in AP mode will have the MAC in the name
Cool. Thanks DJ.
