If you don't provide a convenient interface to read a MAC address then you're going to need an electron microscope to pull it off a NIC chip as well. They just always provide the convenient interface to get at it.
- heleninboodler 4y agoNo, you don't need an electron microscope to overcome that type of inconvenience, because those pieces of data are not sensitive and no effort has been made to ensure you can't just read them out using the pins. This is why the problem of storing private keys is so different than the problem of storing a MAC address. Or put another way: inconvenience is not security, and what we're talking about is a security problem.
