What is a wifi sniff Mac address?

 

 

Hi,

To the Sniffer Mac Address using Wi-Fi is to search the available Wi-Fi networks for a specific Mac address. This is very useful especially for laptops that are stolen because it will help determine where the device is located but sometimes, the Sniffer is also being used by intruders to get information from computers.

The MAC Address is assigned to all wireless devices to get its services on that address. All Wi-Fi devices have their own MAC Address assigned by the manufacture.
