Two questions:
- I know it has been a while, but curious . . . any updates on this one?
- If a MAC address is truly random, would this not raise “red flags” to a party monitoring the network? For example: say I create a purely random MAC address that does not link up to any known type of hardware to exist, would this not raise questions by the monitoring network? The idea behind my question is that the adversary would know that my MAC address did not link up with any real existing hardware and therefore I would become a target for heightened surveillance.
Regarding (2): assuming my thinking is correct, it seems to me that true MAC address randomization would be not as good as some type of pseudo-randomization of the MAC address (i.e. generating random MAC addresses based upon a very popular network controller).
Interested in any thoughts anyone has to add on this . . .
