My Macbook's MAC Address has been compromised

[Jethryn Freyman]

Just a side note, WPA is proof of concept cracked. You should use WPA2 for actual security.

Frames can be injected into WPA traffic (not something your average script kiddie can do), but data can't actually be read (at the moment.)

So yes, use WPA2.

OK, I've did a clean install and archive install since March and now I've been back to a fresh install of Leopard for about a week now...

Gotta question tho,

What does this IP address starting w/ fe80: mean?
The other 192.168.0.1 is Comcast (I guess, since it's always there at all time) and 192.168.0.3 is my iMac. But that "fe80.." IP address kept popping up like it was actively using my network and never seen that before
BTW, the last "chic-cns" is Comcast (Pretty sure of that one)

But I'm too confused about that "fe80:" what does that IP address mean? Only two of my computers are connected(Macbook Pro & iMac) and both have a 192.168... IP address

That is an ipv6 address...

Thanks...so I shouldn't have anything to worry about, in that situation, right?

An IPv6 address means that you are being monitored by the government.
