Which of these would be most commonly used to limit access to a wireless network based on the physical address of a wireless adapter?
A) WPA2
B) MAC filtering
C) NAT
D) Port triggering
E) Wrap your head in the highest quality tin foil you can find
The answer: B) MAC filtering
The physical address of a network adapter is often called the MAC address (Media Access Control address), and you can use this address on wireless networks to limit access to specific MAC addresses. This address can be easily spoofed, so this isn’t a foolproof way to control access to the wireless network.
