Picking a MAC address for a FreedomBoxPicking a MAC address for a FreedomBoxPosted Dec 6, 2012 18:46 UTC (Thu) by BenHutchings (subscriber, #37955)In reply to: Picking a MAC address for a FreedomBox by brouhaha Parent article: Picking a MAC address for a FreedomBox
The interface's MAC address is used for the local part of its IPv6 addresses, by default. (The 'privacy extensions' for IPv6 allow you to randomise the local part, but this is not robust to local attack.) And the gateway router or DHCP server on the LAN might log or otherwise expose the MAC address to remote peers.
