Many Wi‐Fi networks use a whitelist of MAC addresses to control which computers and devices can connect to the network Any device with a MAC address on the list can connect, while devices with other MAC addresses cannot A MAC address whitelist is a useful security measure, but it is not foolproof This is because, although each network adapter has a unique MAC address burned into its hardware, software can spoof, or imitate, approved MAC addresses 295 CuuDuongThanCong.com Index A accessibility features, 92–95 accessories, Add Bookmark screen, 196 Add Folder screen, 197 ad hoc wireless
