Most modern smartphones will break open WiFi networks that offer for-pay plans or require a registration step?
That sounds intuitively and anecdotally incorrect.
- hk__2 8y agoOne MAC address per network doesn’t break anything.
- diminoten 8y agoBut it's also not how phones work, so it's not accurate.
- tastroder 8y agoNot really, they simply only randomise for scanning / management frames when not connected to an AP. The downside is that many people have rather unique sets of SSIDs that still allow for pretty good tracking markers.
- wstuartcl 8y agoThey do retain the mac for scanning networks that they have previously connected to AFAIK. This is what allows the correlation of mac approved (ie paid or bound mac networks).
