And if that MAC is connected, as my
remote stations always are they
will not be successful spoofing a MAC.
Umm no. If your machine is always
connected, it only makes it easier to figure out which MAC to spoof. A few
spoofed packets will knock your box off, and associate mine.
Does it help… sure, but it should
always be backed up with a non-broadcasted essid, and at least WPA.

1. MAC filtering is a joke, any bored 12 year old kid can spoof a
trusted
MAC. So is thinking you are hidden by turning off broadcast
SSID..etc. If
you have a machine talking to your AP, the snoop can see all they need to
know.
But they have to know which MAC to spoof don't they.
