This is clearly just the Wall Street Journal exploiting this tragic and senseless suicide of a vicious and horrible criminal (I mean he changed HIS MAC ADDRESS PEOPLE!!!! WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED???) pushing their copyleft agenda.
Re: Re: Re: Changing IP and MAC address is not wrong
Doesn't matter the intent. Changing you IP address and MAC address are not wrong. Your intent could be world domination, changing your networking configs is. not. wrong.
It has to do with WHY you did what you did, and if he changed his IP and MAC because he was trying to hide his identity and cover up a crime then it is wrong. And a crime.
No, and no. If you commit a crime, the crime is the crime. Duh.
If you cross the street on the way to a robbery, is the act of crossing the street wrong? No. If you commit a robbery, the robbery is wrong. Crossing the street is just crossing the street.
I don't get this notion many have. Changing your ip address or MAC address are not wrong, full stop. They are changing network configs. It sounds big and scary to luddites, and people who don't understand how this stuff works.
"He changed his MAC address?!? That must be hacking cause I don't even know what it is"
It's not hacking, it's not wrong, and it's not even hard.
Arguing that he changed his ip and mac address shows knowledge of wrong doing is idiotic. It's like arguing someone changing their shirt demonstrates knowledge of wrong doing.
While humorous, this would actually a pretty mordant piece of software if not for the fact that it's taxpayer money. Too bad, gave me a chuckle nonetheless.
What we're saying is that IP and MAC spoofing are not crimes
FTFY.
Aside, what is "MAC spoofing"? Is that like changing the MAC address of your networking hardware? You know, like editing a setting? Like a standard feature in OSX networking config? How devious...
