There was also an outbreak of other children using sniffers and just running it in promiscuous
Well how else will you run a sniffer?
the tech said there were some network failures and he looked into it and claimed it was my fault.
How? but you do mention "other children using sniffers".............. I wonder where they got that idea from?......... perhaps you ran off at the mouth?
You must realise that the crucifiction of ringleaders and instigators is a Western tradition that dates back over 2,000 years?
The felony is based on the destruction of government property
I honestly don't see how you could have done that........... if you had destroyed data/corrupted files by screwing up, surely they would have said so? that doesn't have anything to do with MAC addys AFAIK?
never told me why I have 3 felonies
Don't you have a lawyer....... what is "discovery"? Unless American law has totally degenerated, when you are arraigned they have to tell you where, when and how?
I don't want to complain because I'm getting informal probation
Que? don't you have a thing called "due process" over there?
But seriously aren't MAC addresses permanently stored on NICs?
Yes, one is assigned when the device is manufactured, but that doesn't mean it will be the one that is used on your network. Also, some of them have the facility to let you change the pre-assigned one on the EEPROM chip.
I want to see if i can go back to school.
Yes, but a different one............... you have been identified as a troublemaking ringleader. They
have to make an example of you?
i just didn't have an ellaborate network to play with at home.
Never an excuse for messing with one that belongs to someone else and is shared with your classmates.
If I were you I would start looking for another school.
