mm, but even without an ip, you can sniff and forge packets with
victim's MAC (and, of course, ip), so in an hypotetical case an attacker
with little knowledge (and a program that does all this task... they exist)
could steal and insert random information on any non encrypted connection,
on a sort of man-in-the-middle attack... the other thing is that i don't have
so valuable information to be stolen off :)

but anyway, i heard this project is progressively dying, but i think
that the base of it is so great that it can be reused on and on for
multiple different platforms with little effort, just adding this or these
patches to kernel and apps (some pointed on having an automated size
calculator on the building menu for any option, so you can make your own
personalized version and know at any time if it will fit, but i think that's
just impossible)
