email evil daemon has been run off. But I have learned that the paranoid should not spend much time wading through log files. This, clearly, is one place where a little knowledge can be dangerous.
these are sample lines:
>Mar 9 17:36:07 localhost NetworkManager[817]: <info> [1489098967.1631] device (wlp3s0): set-hw-addr: set MAC >address to 06:CE:CD:14:30:65 (scanning)
>Mar 9 17:36:07 localhost kernel: IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready
>Mar 9 17:36:07 localhost NetworkManager[817]: <info> [1489098967.6396] device (wlp3s0): supplicant interface >state: disconnected -> disabled
My question is: what MAC address is that? It doesn't belong to any computer on the LAN. Should I just forget about this or is someone/thing probing my laptop?
these lines with other MAC addresses show up every few minutes. Earlier I identified four different MAC addresses looked for in 30 minutes.
