Well, as it doesn't buy you anything, I'd disagree: It would hurt. It would make the setup more complex with no gain. > You never know what you'll find when you tear apart > some networking packets. You won't find the MAC adress of the attacker. You'll find the MAC adress of your upstream router/switch. >> You can try to block me, my MAC will be either 00:12:17:D4:21:D4 >> or 00:12:17:D4:21:D2.

Don't spend too much time, as it's a waste. You will NOT see my MAC address. Not because I try to disguise it, but because it won't be available to you. That's simply how TCP/IP works.
