Hardware mac address clone?

Postby baboeska » Sun May 25, 2025 12:37 pm

Hi,
I went on holiday, and when I came back, 3/4 of my ESP32 Camera boards had identical mac addresses, resulting in major issues being able to use them for surveillance.
In theory this isn't possible, however, it happened, without a doubt.
Clearly there is a means for burglars to rewrite ESP32 hardware level addresses, is my current hypothesis.
I hope to hear others, and perhaps, how to fix it so they have differing mac addresses again?

Thank you for your time,

How do you conclude they have the same MAC address? Also what firmware are you running?
