had 4 courses on networks at my college, that part about translation and mac addresses was a big blur until now. godspeed gentooman.

This guy gets it! Pretty much everything in this video is spot-on, except:
- 802.11 is WiFi only. Ethernet is 802.3 and Bluetooth is 802.15.1.
- Most big vendors (like Sony) don't reuse MAC addresses, they just register more OUI blocks and/or buy another vendor's unused space. (But some smaller ones DO reuse, so Mental's point is still valid.)
- NAT converts Internet IPs <-> private LAN IPs, because the latter aren't valid on the Internet at large. It is true that your MAC address isn't used on the Internet either, but that's because MAC addresses are only for communication across a single link. NAT is uninvolved here.
- Changing your MAC address for privacy isn't something you need to do by hand. Modern Windows, macOS, *nix systems using NetworkManager with the right config, and Android/iOS will all do this for you.

As of this morning I was looking into changing my MAC address to avoid wifi bandwidth limitations at the hotel I’m staying in. Always feel like this dude be spying on me lol always making pertinent content

One of my comp sci teachers who's been teaching for 10 years told me when I asked her what I Mac address is and she said it's for MacOS ☠️

[rafaelpolonio]

ah, so the NSA interrogation has finally come to an end?

4:05 That's not really true. If Manufacturers are used up all there address, they simply get an additional address range. In that case, Sony would get 00-11-15.

"MAC Adress? But I dont even have an Apple Computer!"

[jtbebop]

2:27 that's an extremely satisfying IP Address ngl

[awndolznmowdlzkwndznwua]

Never knew it stood for "Media Acces Control Adress"! Pretty cool stuff! Also, I think I heard you doing some pentesting basics, please do some tutorials, even if its basic!!!

[francelladiaz]

thanks for the video! I'm retaking the CCNA courses and I rather have this topics explained verbally than on the platform

[BeansEnjoyer]

Good street address analogy. I live with someone who has the same first and last name as me.. and it’s extremely easy to mix up our mail

[tokisuno]

used to change my MAC address on my chromebook through croot so then i could evade my child safety timer on the internet LMAO

[SonOfMeme]

Man I loved User Friendly way back when people still read webcomics [sound of monster ultra white being opened]

[bonkmaykr]

Your editing has gotten alot better (arch btw)
Informative and helpful video as always c:

[UK-nfui]

Thank you for saving me from having to learn this from Google's diverse robot teachers. You know how to keep things interesting

[shadowoftiger]

Hey Mental Outlaw, do you have any Youtube channels you would recommend to someone who was wanting to further their understanding on Linux? Imo you are top dog for Linux videos, but I was hoping to hear what you think would be some high-quality Linux content since you are a Linux guru. Thank you for your time man I love all of your videos they have taught me so much and made me a better person. Have a good day

[rarrawer]

Certain varieties of network adaptors have been known to have defects causing the MAC address to all be the same, meaning that if you use more than one on the same LAN they fail to work.

A cultured man I see, I subscribed to a cultured man hehee
