Macs sniffed using dhcp force are usually in the same ubr as the person who sniffed them and because two macs can't be in the same ubr they are traded with people in the same city/town but different ubr.

Yeah as fitz says use dhcp sniffer and select bruteforce this will find macs outside of your ubr.

A far as the forum is concerned any requests for mac swaps are illegal and will be severly dealt with.

What you do in your own home is no concern of ours.

If your worrying about every app being legal/illegal, I would suggest you give your local CC a ring and buy a package and stay with it.
