FBI raids Trumps home

[Mij]

Condemned?

The guy had his last smoke, blindfolded, up against the wall. the smoke from the firing squad is clearing.

 

[KLB]

If you say so. Mine hasn’t and it won’t. It stays right where I put it.

IP address

It is possible to get a static, but generally you pay more for it.

 

[indyblue]

Your home address is not static. It can change.

You are likely tracked via several methods:

• MAC address - these are fixed in hardware but can be spoofed if you know how.
• IP - most home ISPs are dynamic although the default lease is 3 days so if you stay online it won't change unless you shut off or disconnect your modem/router for more that 3 days.
• Your browser/OS fingerprint - the unique details of your system (microprocessor, memory, browser brand/version and many more attributes) that are unique to your system.

Like I said “if you say so” I’m not arguing, just don’t know how to do it. Mine has been the same for a long time. Just to be sure - we are talking about IP address rite? That’s what I’m referring to. And

You've been on with 5 different IP addresses since June. Significantly less than most buy still more than 1

Don’t have anything MAC. I never turn my pewter off, my elect. can only go out for ~8 seconds, then everything reboots. Pewter n Router. Last time that I think anything changed was about 8 yrs. ago. Router took a dump, new router.

MAC in this context is not McIntosh/Apple. Look on the back of your router. It will have the MAC address.

Would that happen when elect.goes out? Or do you know? When I check mcafee it says the same thing I think. I’ve never been on INGO away from home.

Every device that connects to a computer network has a hardware ID, or MAC ("media access control") address. It is a serial number, essentially, of the device you're using.

This^^^
Thats Media Access Control
Every ethernet port, network attached device has a unique Mac number address assigned to it.

If you check your IP address you will see the MAC address associated with it
like 00:25:96:FF:FE:12:34:56

OK, always thought that was McIntosh there is a long number we’ve had to use it for Prime TV.

I thought my ip was 196.++.++++. Looks like a default # for the brand.

 

[Mij]

I’m out a here, don’t mean to jack this thread, just realized it.



Never mind, this thread is 64 pages and it’s all over the place.
Still, standing by.

Ah, yes. By default, all router/modems on the local netwoork side have 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x, 172.x.x.x are private addresses, and are not routable on the Internet and why they are used for the local network (i.e. inside your home or business).

The internet side of the routers/modems are assigned by the ISP either fixed or dynamic.

Been in the business since 1988. Modems, routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, running CAT3/4/5 (edit: there was some RG59 and freaking Token Ring in there too); I've done it.

I effin hate computers. Bill Gates gave me a lifetime career. I hate him too (but not for his invention).

 

[Mij]

I used them in my former life, forgotten most of what I learned or knew. Don’t mis it a bit.


And what I retain is just enough to get me in trouble or make me sound like a mo-ron and I don’t even care.
