Re: Virtual Machines and Hypervisors

[Juan Camilo Valencia <camilo.valencia13 () gmail com>]

Hi Guys,

I thought that maybe the VM generate some kind of flags in the headers of
the protocols to communicate in the network. Basically I can detect the MAC
address and associate them with and IP address, however there are scenarios
that the people can change the MAC address and the method that I use is not
valid. But Thanks a lot for your fast answer,

Best Regards,
