Masking the wifi number is not possible

is it easy to change a wifi card???

you can use a USB wifi stick and that should present a different MAC address (the internal number) to the router.

All network hardware has this MAC address (different from internal or external IP addresses) but it can be spoofed by other software (or simply by using a different device to connect the computer to the network).

Tracking such data from the other side of a firewall/router (which routes one public IP to other private ones inside a building) is way harder than monitoring GSM mobile phone traffic and neither is easy even for feds/cops or the engineers who have to keep the stuff working. Normally the MAC numbers of internal equipment should not be seen the other side of the firewall (the main internet) unless the router itself is backdoored (sometimes done so the telecom company can carry out remote support) but in reality it is rare for cops/govt to bother with surveillance at this level unless they genuinely think someone is selling kilos of hard drugs or involved with terrorism.

so what, it’s a lap[top, designed to be moved. Yes you can replace the wifi card.

if u replace the wifi card its the solution, which would be equivalent as changing a IMEI Number from a phone. GL Just wrotte that the cops or terrorism police can with help of the phone company find the wifi number which i supposed is that MAC number???

exactly, but this wifi number that the company is having is used twith phones to know when a phone is stolen or not. the phone company can do the same with computers, a phone has also a firewall, smartphones are like a computer, no?

smartphones (and all GSM phones) are computers but have always been more closely monitored – the end user has to pay for the data traffic, so the mobile company requires a way of identifying them for billing purposes and shutting off the service (other than 112 calls for some networks) if the bill is unpaid

Added to which the device always needs to register to base stations with the strongest signals so it still works when the user is moving around.

With modern smartphones and broadband internet a whole industry has arisen funded by gathering and selling data about users for marketing / advertising purposes which also occurs on tablets, laptops and desktops unless suitable ad blockers/privacy software is installed. All of this data gathering by private companies is what can make all of these devices insecure

i have maybe not good explain the question.

A new computer which immediately fake his IP adress will never give his wifi identification, so this case is secure.

but a laptop using a real IP adress and which is under surveillance is giving the wifi indentification. installing tor after that is too late cuz he will always be found with his wifi ident
