On routers using MAC filtering,
How quickly do the crackers guess a correct MAC address
and connect (assuming they somehow got your passphrase)?
They do not usually guess. The use a program that monitors the
traffic, and captures the MAC address of any system that connects to
the router. They then use one of these to connect.
