I am sure most of you would have seen this yesterday at some point.
I only have one question how does Google get the information of MAC
address's and locations.
I change my MAC quite a lot on my router when needing a new IP
address if mitigating any attacks etc so does the ISP share this
info with Google?
Isn't that a breach of privacy laws if this is the case?
If it is not the case then how does it pinpoint locations via MAC
address? Bearing in mind ARP is a non routable protocol..
p.s this worked for me and my friend around 1 mile away and the
accuracy was perfect!! I would got to say it got my house and
friends by 10 metres max! My other friend same ISP maybe 2-3 miles
away shows nothing from his MAC.
Cheers!
