Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MAC address?
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique 48-bit hardware identifier assigned to network interfaces. It's used for communication within a local network segment.
Can MAC addresses be spoofed?
Yes. While MAC addresses are burned into hardware, they can be changed in software. MAC-based access controls should not be relied upon as the sole security measure.
