Sometimes you have to work with what you've got.
I don't agree that it is an approximation, let alone a close one.
Given we don't even know if the OP is using EAP or not, that might be all they've got to work with.
TBH, I don't understand at all why MAC addresses are used everywhere in security relevant contexts. All these wifi "portals" are fundamentally flawed because of this.
Because nothing's perfect, and sometimes you can only work with what you've got. Like I said last time. Nobody said you have to like it, or that web portals are secure. -- Matthew
