MAC addreses identify (in theory) a NIC uniquely (worldwide)... so these provide among other things the ability to recognize a computer even when it is using dynamic IP address...
As it is a best practice to minimize any exposure of data my recommendation would be the other way around: Is it absolutely necessary to expose this piece of data in this specific case ?
From what you describe I don't see any benefit but potential harm... so: don't expose any MAC unlesse absolutely necessary.
In the past, the mac address was used in the calculation of GUIDs. That actually has led to capturing the author of a virus that contained such a GUID. So yeah, for him it was harmful.
显然,如果你能轻易隐藏它,那就这么做吧。 但总的来说,这并没有任何真正的危害,今天,在 Linux 上使用一个简单的命令,您就可以更改您的 MAC 地址。在网络中,任何人都可以是任何人。
Oviusly if you can easly hide it do it. but in general there isn't any real harm, today with a simple command on linux you can change your MAC addr as it.seen ny the network, as anybody could be anybody.

MAC 地址(理论上)唯一地(全球)标识一个 NIC...因此,即使计算机使用动态 IP 地址,这些地址也提供了识别计算机的能力...
因为这是最大程度地减少任何暴露的最佳实践data 我的建议是相反的:在这种特定情况下是否绝对有必要公开这段数据?
从你的描述来看,我没有看到任何好处,但有潜在的危害......所以:除非绝对必要,否则不要暴露任何 MAC。

过去,Mac 地址用于计算 GUID。这实际上导致捕获了包含此类 GUID 的病毒的作者。所以是的,这对他来说是有害的。
