Please help, I cant seem to find the answer to this question?

Is it okay to use the DHCP sniffer software through a subscribed vm modem connected to original mac pc thorugh ethernet cable in a ex c&w - nthell area?

Just thought I would find out before trying?

will be ok but dont run it for more than an hour at a time

So if I was to stop and start dhcp sniffer would it carry on finding different macs or just repeat finding the ones already scanned?

i think you can run sniffer all day m8 i think its just bruit force you can only run for so long

What about changing pc mac and keeping it runninng on the vm modem - would dat b advisable to carry out further DHCP sniffer's?

Just in question what would leaving the sniffer on 4 a longer than an hour do, ie would it alert vm to what is going on?

sorry getting paranoid as a mate has used his subscribed modem through his pc and left bruteforce on all night, how bad is this?
