Ah yes, of course, these are your annoying housemates who don't seem to think they have to follow your rules whilst using your network... With users like that, you've got a whole different set of problems to deal with. However, if they're going to go ahead and swap their wifi credentials over, don't you think they're also going to be smart enough to google MAC changing and swap their 12 digit hexadecimal codes as well? Howtos are literally all over the internet and the (free) tools are available everywhere. For the last time, MACs aren't useful for security no matter how you try to frame the argument. As for how to deal with the morons if they still won't follow your rules whilst on your network? Well, I'd use the following in rapidly escalating priority: 1: Upsidedown-ternet* 2: MITM proxy + SSL strip to swipe their Facebook/Twitter/etc credentials followed by using their credentials to post "I am a dick who thinks messing with my network admin is a good idea LOL" messages to all of their friends 3: Complete and permanent disconnection from my network In your situation quite frankly I'd be tempted to immediately implement 1-3 and follow up with: 4: Go to their rooms and physically smack some sense into them Admittedly, my approach to network administration might seem a little BOFH-like or harsh - however, I assure you it's always been 100% effective and nobody ever, ever messes with me or my networks (from the inside at least - I have a different set of tools for the legions of script kiddies and Chinese brute force SSH attacks, etc, who live on the outside of my networks). I would be a lot less tolerant of tossers abusing your trust, your rules, your resources and your internet connection personally. Give them hell!
