Don't you see how a random device with an Ethernet cord being able to change its MAC address and send arbitrary packets is a wormable threat actor?
...and then let it do the same but without the Ethernet cord requirement?
Drive around with a white van that says "Free Candy / BLE Persistent Threats"... pwn devices as you walk through the metal detectors on the way to China.
Wireless, wormable, arbitrary packets, spoofing arbitrary devices and you don't see the issue?
- awwaiid 2y agoIt doesn't sound like it is wormable -- it doesn't allow any new attacks on external devices.
- tredre3 2y ago> Don't you see how a random device with an Ethernet cord being able to change its MAC Many devices already allow you to change your MAC if you want. This isn't new, it's been the case since the beginning of ethernet, and subsequently wifi. Then you have things like device privacy on Windows and Android that use randomized MACs when connecting to new networks.
