RE: how to bypass rouge machine detection techniques

["Lauro, John" <jlauro () umflint edu>]

Some low-end NAT routers will automatically take over the MAC address
of the first device plugged into it.  (Designed to allow easy
plug-n-play into a cable modem that only supports one MAC address
behind it, without having to reboot the cable modem).  It will fail
detection if such a device is used.  (Not to mention the many ways to
avoid detection if you purposely mask yourself).
