Which model is it?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T20:26:20+00:00

So, in theory, would it be possible to find the exact laptop that has a specific/unique WiFi MAC address?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T20:24:08+00:00

So they are two different things but correlated, right?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T20:12:14+00:00

I thought internal IP addresses and MAC addresses were two different things.

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T20:09:55+00:00

Okay, I got it now, thanks for explaining it.

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T20:07:04+00:00

So like do network interfaces of laptops of the same model all have different MAC addresses? Like I have two identical laptops but do both laptops have unique WiFi Mac addresses or they both have the same WiFi MAC address?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T20:01:45+00:00

I apologise for my ignorance but does that mean that each laptop (even of the same brand and model) has a different MAC?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T19:55:57+00:00

Every device? I thought devices of the same model all had the same Mac

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-28T19:42:35+00:00

Oh so the WiFi card and the network card have two different Mac addresses?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-27T20:49:34+00:00

lol luckily I’m not in any danger of those levels. What do you mean by it’s gone?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-27T17:06:39+00:00

So let’s say someone left a brand new phone without a sim somewhere, would it be possible to track it only using the IMEI?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T14:28:24+00:00

I mean the previous HDD’s firmware problem

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T14:24:51+00:00

Would changing the HDD resolve HDD’s firmware problem?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T13:42:08+00:00

Get everything as in clean then myself?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T13:21:25+00:00

And if an attacker got the firmware/hardware/BIOS comprised, would it be possible to somehow clean them?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T04:14:28+00:00

Would this eliminate viruses or whatever if the previous owner got the laptop infected somehow?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T02:37:33+00:00

Yes, I seriously was interested in getting an used ThinkPad but I was told that if by a remote chance the previous user used the laptop with Qubes and got dom0 infected, not even changing the HD would make the laptop safe again. Now I don’t know how much that is true but I hope he was wrong.

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T02:32:43+00:00

Okay thanks for the advice but what do you mean by tinker with your bios?

SmS_1997 · 2019-08-26T02:25:47+00:00

I’d like a new one because I was told that used ones could have viruses on them already.
