As an aside,

This is true, assuming the upstream protocol uses ethernet 
signaling, wasn't there some old point to point protocols where the MAC 
was ignored?


I seem to remember something like that. I know ATM, FDDI, 
Bluetooth, and PPP/PPPOE use MAC addresses. SLIP, if my old brain is 
functioning, did not.


I think there were others too. But I'm too old and salty to 
remember them all.


Xerox sure got some mileage off of ethernet addressing huh? I'm 
wondering if they made any money on it.

If you want to have a data link, yes. :-)

Probably he even knows your street address. Don't you get billed for
your connection? So why would you worry about him knowing your MAC
address? If you use Tor correctly, he can't figure out what site you
are connecting to, and that's the whole point.

In the message you're replying to, "the ISP" means your ISP,
not some other ISP.  It's true that your ISP knows your home
router's MAC address.  Other ISPs don't.

Tor works at the tcp layer, not the layers below it.

Re: How does TOR deal with mac addresses

2010-03-26 Thread Al MailingList
Where exactly do you think the MAC address would get recorded? Your
MAC Is only sent on your local LAN segment? i.e. your MAC only gets as
far as your home router, and then your home router's MAC only gets as
far as the ISP's end point... etc...
