Hi All,
I have a situation where a device is accessing one of my home networks on an IP address used by my son's iPhone. It comes in on the same IP address every time when my son's iPhone is not connected. Every time it comes in with a new MAC address I cannot lookup. This has happened 4 times in the last 3 months. Thankfully, I have a Fing device which, by default, blocks all new devices that have not been confirmed by me. In addition, I have Wireless MAC filtering enabled on my Access Point along with standard wireless security (WPA3).
How is this possible and what is the intent?
If it is a wireless device, the wireless MAC filtering would have denied access. However, if MAC spoofing was being used, wouldn't the device be using the iPhone MAC address and not some random MAC address?
How is it even successfully coming online in my network (but being blocked by Fing)?
Thanks for any advice on this ...
