  1. Why is it that even in this day and age that network administrators cannot understand to filter mac addressing is important. Yes i have taken in to account that indeed a mac address can be spoofed and used on a different computer, as many are now changeable on the network card, but at the end of the day it is a first line defense. Needs to be considered and used. Network attacks and hacks would go down for example networks would not talk to mac addresses that weren't listed on a central server list? I am surprised that security companies do not devolop software that allows you to filter your traffic on servers based on the mac address. Although this can be done at switching level it is only available in smart switching such as Cisco Devices. I know that it is hard to implement and manage, but in high security networks where data security and prevention against attacks such as Hospitals this should be taken in to account.
