Can i be traced while using a spoofed Mac Addresse?

[♥The♥Specialist♥]

Instead of setting up tor entry and exit nodes and leeching off of some kids 'sploits... one of these days im going to have to setup a non-encrypted and non-passworded wireless access point. Wink Wink...

Maybe nab login details from these smelly-ass minoritys that don't want to waste their monthly checks on internet access.

Nihil I agree law enforcement / human behavior precludes capture.

Cyber you are correct - less you forgot to use spell check.

What I am asking is this...

No logs, No "Traps", is there any software that one can run to see - direction and distance, from where a connected device is located. and if not, how would you gather such information. i.e. give me a skiddie tool that lets me know the direction, distance and time of connection from all connected devices to my AP

I am not aware of any such software, at least not that is available to the general public.

There was a case over here recently where a paedophile was using someone's unsecured AP. The ring was using a "dead letter box" e-mail account to peddle their filth.

This guy had made the mistake of once accessing the e-mail from his place of work. As this was a large organisation and logs were not available, there was no joy there.

The police ran the past and present employee registers against all people living within estimated range of the insecure AP and got one hit.............. job done, but not with sophisticated electronics or software. Given the amount of effort involved, if that solution had been available I am sure that they would have used it.

The way Tor is setup, all you have to do is run it and you'll get a terabyte dump of "financial aid" as its called. And as for wireless networks... the first thing people do when they see a wireless network is connect to it.

Most routers just have two small antennas pointing upward. But with something resistant to radio waves wrapped around it you could shape and angle the access point. Then it would be a matter of very slowly pointing it in directions every three to fifteen seconds (enought time for a machine to automaticly detect it and login.)

As silly as it sounds... I bet it would work.

Well, there is not much you can tell about a wireless network unless you are connected. For instance, without connecting to the AP/network - you would not be able to see the IP Traffic, or glean any useable data.

The most you could do without connecting to the AP is analyse the analog wifi signal, but without being able to knowingly and intelligently filter the frequency it is basically useless data.

Please correct me if this is off mark as I am slightly more curious than I was yesterday.

Hey Dino, I am sorry to respond to this so late. I never bothered to check the thread post replying to it. But the way the situation is put forward, there is no way you can be tracked. Only time you can be tracked is if you are still connected to the AP. This also has limitation's as pointed out by few members. Besides that there is no way you can be tracked, post you logging off. There are lot of variable factors (changing the MAC, machine name, VMware) etc that can be done before logging on that you will never be able to trace back too
